Registrar's Major/Concentration Declaration Forms
The Environmental Studies concentration is a six-course concentration in which students gain broad exposure to environmental studies while pursuing another major. All concentrators are required to take:
- ENVI 101 – Nature and Society: An Introduction to Environmental Studies
- ENVI 102 – Introduction to Environmental Science (Students with a score of 5 on the AP Environmental Science exam may take a 200-level environmental science lab course, cross-listed with Environmental Studies, in lieu of ENVI 102)
- One Humanities, Arts and Social Sciences course
- One Natural World course
- One Environmental Policy course
- One senior seminar
Majors and concentrators (or first years and sophomores interested in the major or concentrations) are encouraged to talk at any time with members of the Environmental Studies Program and to contact the Chair of Environmental Studies, Professor Sarah Jacobson (saj2@williams.edu). All incoming majors will be assigned a faculty advisor in the spring of their sophomore year. We encourage all students interested in the major to meet with an advisor in Environmental Studies prior to spring pre-registration to discuss their proposed plan of study.
