Bachelor [Chemistry - Environmental Studies] From Whitman College

Interested in using science to address some of the most urgent environmental issues of our times? Looking to explore, understand and appreciate the interaction between different natural and ecological systems at the molecular level? The environmental studies major develops a common core of knowledge through extensive interdepartmental coursework, complemented by a concentration in a specific area in either the environmental humanities, sciences, or social sciences. The student may elect one of eight areas of concentration — biology, chemistry, economics, geology, humanities, physics, politics, sociology, or an individually planned major (psychology, for example) in the environmental studies major.
