Undergraduates in environmental studies study science. But they focus more on social sciences and humanities ? everything from environmental politics and geography to economics. They take fewer advanced math and science courses than UT?s environmental science majors.

This perfect natural laboratory allows UT environmental studies majors to travel throughout the region and study how humans interact with the environment.
