Complex issues such as climate change, population growth, pollution, and management of natural resources faced by our modern society require innovative and interdisciplinary solutions. Solving these issues requires an understanding of the natural sciences aspects of the problem derived from, for example, physical geography, hydrology, geology and soil science, but also insight into the social sciences and humanities aspects related to, for example,  sociology, political studies, economics, history and philosophy.  Environment and Society is an innovative combination of natural and social sciences in a new program structure (Bachelor of Arts and Science) that focuses on the interplay between humans and their environment.

Students in this program are asked to take a suite of courses across several disciplines with an organizing environmental theme. By taking courses from the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities, students will develop an understanding of environmental science, resource management, environmental philosophy, policy, and environmental studies.
