Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Environmental Science and Policy] From Hood College

Majors concentrate in one of four fields: coastal and watershed studies, environmental biology, environmental chemistry or environmental policy. Students draw on this training in an interdisciplinary problem-solving senior seminar. In addition, majors are guided toward internships and other work experiences that complement their academic work. Recent internship sites have included the National Aquarium in Baltimore, the Nature Conservancy, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the National Park Service and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency.

This hands-on major is designed to take advantage of Hood?s proximity to terrestrial, freshwater and marine habitats, to government research facilities and to federal policy-making agencies in Washington, D.C. Students in the ENSP program are encouraged to take part in Hood College?s Coastal Studies Semester, directed by Drew Ferrier.
