The goal of the environmental concentration is to offer Hillyer students the option to pursue interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approaches to ecology, current and historical environmental issues, and the interrelationships between the natural and social world. The elective may be Living in the Environment (AUCT 120) or another course with an emphasis in environmental issues. Sophomore standing and a minimum overall 2.5 GPA are required for entrance into the program, and a 2.5 overall GPA or better in the five courses of the concentration is required for degree designation.
