Welcome
Welcome to Environmental Studies at St. Mary’s College of Maryland. Our program offers an interdisciplinary minor for the purpose of understanding interrelations between the natural environment and human life, including scientific, aesthetic, cultural, and political perspectives.
Our goal is for students to comprehend the complexity of environmental systems, problems, and policies. Through investigation of the social sciences and humanities as well as the natural and physical sciences, this program provides students with broad-based preparation for future decisions regarding the environment.
Environmental Studies faculty and students also share expertise and awareness with the greater St. Mary’s community through extracurricular activities including student clubs, living options, and sustainability initiatives that encourage stewardship of local ecosystems. Involvement in our academic program often motivates students to seek hands-on experiences during summers and post-graduation.
