Welcome to the Department of Environmental Studies at Rollins College.

The interdisciplinary environmental studies major examines natural and cultural systems from many viewpoints -- scientific, economic, ethical, historical, political, and sociological. Students study the uses and protection of resources essential for economic development and public well-being. The curriculum provides a foundation of knowledge that enables students to analyze and recommend actions on environmental issues, problems, and opportunities. It also offers preparation for an environmental career; broad background in several related areas of study or concentration in a particular discipline; and a basis for graduate study. Since Florida has been at the forefront of environmental issues in recent years and has pioneered solutions, environmental studies majors at Rollins have a distinctive advantage. Courses involve students in real; environmental problems through field experiences and guest lectures. Students may major in one of three tracks (culture and the environment, environmental policy, or science) or minor in environmental studies.

Why study the environment?
In today's growing society, it is imperative that we preserve our natural resources for the health and well-being of future generations.
