The Conservation and Resource Studies major (CRS) is an
interdisciplinary program designed for students interested in
environmental issues and areas of interaction among natural resources,
population, energy, technology, societal institutions, and cultural
values. Because students draw on the course offerings of the entire
campus, they have the flexibility to incorporate any combination of the
social sciences, biological sciences, physical sciences, or humanities
to address complex environmental problems. Students may also draw upon
appropriate community resources in the development of individual
programs of study. Sample topics from past students include
environmental justice and education; conservation and culture; energy
and environmental policy.
Career Opportunities. CRS graduates are qualified for careers in environmental consulting, education, health, or law; community, urban, or regional planning; and other related areas of environmentalism in public agencies, non-profit conservation organizations, and private companies. Graduates also matriculate into masters and doctoral programs in geography, law, and public health.
