环境科学与政策理学学士-文化与环境

环境科学与政策（ENSP）是由三所学院共同资助的多学科本科专业，包括11个重点领域。该计划由行政管理机构安置在农业与自然资源学院（外部是链接），但由行为与社会科学学院（外部是链接）和计算机，数学与自然科学学院（链接）共同赞助是外部的）。ENSP的学生学习自然科学和人类环境解决问题的知识，同时完成较低级别的多学科核心知识以及结构化的探索性咨询计划。人类活动助长了这些全球性问题，尽管某些结果仍然不确定，但世界各地的社区和文化已经在经历其影响。人类学，其重点是对过去和现在人类的比较研究，在寻找可持续的解决方案来
Environmental Science and Policy (ENSP) is a multidisciplinary program that produces problem solvers and leaders who are prepared to face today's environmental challenges. ENSP is a unique undergraduate major co-sponsored by three colleges. Students acquire a foundational understanding in science and policy through core classes, and then advance to specialized training and experiences in one of many academic disciplines ranging from biology to geology, and anthropology to government and politics. The linked perspectives offered by interdisciplinary education are often regarded as appropriate ways of addressing the complexity of global trends such as environmental change, global food security, the optimization of urban environments, and the development of green technologies. The Environmental Science and Policy program values the integration of the natural sciences and social sciences and how those disciplines can best shape good public policies. Taking courses from a wide variety of subject areas gives students the opportunity to consolidate learning by synthesizing ideas from many perspectives and encourages them to explore new knowledge in different areas of environmental science. We strongly believe this type of education will help ENSP students become more employable due to their ability to engage across disciplinary boundaries and help bridge the gap between science and policy-making decisions.<br><br>Life in the 21st century and beyond will require holistic, interdisciplinary solutions to the complex problems that push at planetary limits including global climate change, biodiversity loss, land use change, and pollution. Human activity contributes to these global problems, and while some outcomes remain uncertain, communities and cultures around the world are already experiencing their effects. Anthropology, with its emphasis on the comparative study of humankind past and present, is well positioned to address the relationships between humans and the environment in the search for sustainable solutions to these challenges and uncertainties. This concentration provides students a firm grounding in anthropology, with additional coursework in the natural and social sciences, and prepares them to assist diverse communities, locally and internationally, as they adapt and transform in response to environmental change now and in the future.
