Core Curriculum – Old Track System

One course in each of these eight categories is required to major in Environmental Studies.

Note: Most 200-level Urban and Environmental Policy (UEP) courses are open to undergraduate seniors with consent from the instructor. However, students should be aware that UEP graduate students are granted priority in these courses and undergraduates may be bumped from the course if a UEP student enrolls.
