All advising is hosted through Tykeson Advising. Students should start with Tykeson advising and will be referred to our advisors as needed. We work closely with Tykeson advising to ensure student success and access to resources and guidance.

Why study Environmental Studies or Environmental Science? What’s required for a degree? It’s all summarized in our major maps:

Prospective majors should schedule an appointment with an advisor to discuss the degree requirements and declare the major.

Current majors are encouraged to meet with an advisor at least once a year to confirm that appropriate progress is being made toward completion of the degree. We offer Tip Sheets to help guide students through their major.

Graduating majors are required to meet with their advisor during the first term of the year they plan to graduate. This gives us an opportunity to confirm your progress toward your degree and discuss career plans.
