Environmental Studies looks at environmental challenges from every angle — scientific, social, political, and ethical. Rather than approaching the environment purely as a natural science, the major draws coursework from across all four schools at Batten University, treating environmental problems as the intersection of biology and climate with law, policy, literature, and philosophy.

Students build a foundation in environmental science alongside coursework in economics, ethics, and policy, then choose electives spanning ecology, geology, oceanography, and conservation. The interdisciplinary approach prepares students to address challenges like resource depletion, habitat loss, pollution, and biodiversity loss — and opens doors to careers in law, public policy, scientific research, environmental writing, and education.
