SUNY Potsdam Environment & Sustainability Program

SUNY Potsdam Environment & Sustainability Program Environment & Sustainability Dept at SUNY Potsdam gives students interdisciplinary skills for careers

The Environmental Studies Major is interdisciplinary and is designed to prepare environmental leaders of the future. The curriculum emphasizes four components: humanities and social sciences, natural sciences, skills and the capstone experience. It seeks to provide students with an understanding of human attitudes and behaviors toward nature, and provides a grounding in science to prepare them to shape viable environmental policy and practice.
