Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Environmental Studies] From Sweet Briar College

Because the College?s 3,250-acre campus serves as a living laboratory and outdoor classroom, a tradition of field work marks our program. Forays through meadows, stream and forests are integrated into environmental courses. You will study and explore woods, lakes, streams, meadows, nature sanctuaries and mountaintops. When your class sets out to conduct fieldwork, you won?t pile in a van and drive for an hour. You?ll walk out the door, straight to your research site. You will learn to analyze soils and streams, air and water, and policy and economics.

You will notice our commitment to the study of the environment. You will join a program specifically designed to provide a structured, multidisciplinary approach to solving environmental problems. You will graduate with the intellectual and practical skills necessary for graduate or professional studies, employment in the public or private sector, or to set an example of environmental awareness in whatever life choices you make.
