BA in Environmental Studies (Co-Major)

Quinnipiac University

Designed to be intentionally integrated and completed alongside any major, Quinnipiac’s BA in Environmental Studies (Co-Major) gives you the experience and expertise to address the effects of climate change, water pollution, waste disposal and other prominent environmental challenges in a range of professional fields. In the Environmental Studies Co-Major (BA) program, you’ll build a strong foundation in environmental science, ethics, statistics, geography and culture, and sustainable development while exploring environmental challenges from multiple disciplinary perspectives. If you are passionate about a specialized field such as environmental communications, business sustainability, environmental public health, biostatistics, environmental law or environmental engineering, the integration of your primary major with the environmental studies co-major will allow you to pursue that passion. Declaring this co-major as part of your program designates you with a double degree, giving you the benefit of graduating with two bachelor’s degrees-and a high level of professional versatility. Whatever your primary major may be, adding a broad, complementary background in environmental studies uniquely qualifies you for positions with federal, state and local environmental agencies, political action groups, NGOs, nonprofits, corporations, research organizations and product developers.
