What are environmental studies?
Environmental Studies is a multidisciplinary program created to promote not just the study of our natural surroundings, but also designs that help minimize degradation of those areas and the social and political tools needed to preserve and improve the environment. The program provides training in social sciences, natural sciences, engineering and humanities. Begun in 1984, the Tufts Environmental Studies program was one of the first such multidisciplinary programs in the United States.
