The Environmental Studies and Sustainable Urbanism major is designed to address important issues affecting the natural and built environment. With an equal emphasis on science and policy, the program develops well-rounded students who have the ability to solve environmental problems and the tools needed to meet these challenges. Students learn to apply concepts related to urban design, sense of place, environmental systems, and sustainability in courses that often involve exploring Central Florida’s exemplary protected lands and nationally recognized New Urbanist projects. These opportunities offer students valuable experiences and expertise with full-time faculty and adjuncts in the environmental, planning, legal, and design professions.
