UR is developing a Major in Environmental Studies. The goal of the major is to enable students to understand, evaluate, and change the way humans relate to their natural world. The major will draw together students and faculty from across campus to integrate disciplines in the study of the environment. It is expected to begin in the fall of 2001. Students who now are in their first year at UR may be able to major in environmental studies if they plan their schedules accordingly. Further information about the major and other environmental issues at UR can be accessed from the web address for this page - http://www.richmond.edu/~jbishop/es/ - and clicking "here" on items listed below. This page will be updated on occasion, and the dates of update will be noted. New items will be in red.
