Interested in doing a double major or double degree with Environmental Studies?  More information available from the UAA Advising site:
http://www.washington.edu/uaa/advising/majors/double.php

You will earn a double major when both majors lead to the same degree name (e.g., B.A., B.S., B.F.A.), even if the two majors are in different colleges or schools. 

Looking for a great way to study abroad without taking a full quarter off? See the following for more information about an exploration seminar that has run regularly each year. This course will count as a perspectives course in either the ‘natural sciences’ or ‘international’ categories. 

Wasting Food: Why so much food ends up in the trash and what we can do about it.
Did you know that America wastes enough food each day to fill the Rose Bowl? 

Another “study abroad-like” opportunity through the organization Wildlands Studies.  Many of the projects have an environmental studies focus and will let you earn academic credit towards the environmental studies major. 

ENVIR 450B – Growing Stuff: Ecology of Resource Extraction Systems will be taught in Spring 2011 by Stevan Harrell.  Want to get an idea of what the class will be like?  

This summer join the OurEarth.org community and become an intern in OurEarth.org’s 2011 Environmental Leadership Program. This is a rare opportunity for you to develop as a leader and learn many of the skills that are necessary if you want to create significant environmental changes in the future.
