Forward-thinking undergraduate degree program at the University of Baltimore in the College of Arts & Sciences which preps graduates to help society deal with future sustainability challenges using an interdisciplinary approach. Majoring in Environmental Sustainability (formerly Environmental Sustainability and Human Ecology) at the University of Baltimore immerses you in the three areas of Enviro

nmental Sustainability: Environment, Society, and Policy, which prepares you to take on the complex sustainability challenges of the future at every level of society. Our major requirements provide students with core environmental science courses, and the flexibility to tailor their upper level major requirements to their specific interests and career goals, which includes courses in:

-Government, Policy, & International Affairs
-Law & Philosophy
-Business & Economics
-Sociology/Anthropology

There's still room in all our lab courses for Fall 2024, with BIOL 121 Fundamentals of Biology (Weds) and ENVS 300 Greater Baltimore Urban Ecosystems (Sats) offered in-person, and ENVS 221 Science of the Environment offered hybrid (Tues/Thurs).

Dr. Kemp will be teaching ENVS 221 and ENVS 300, while Prof. Dean is back at the helm of BIOL 121.

Our Story

Young people today have inherited a world altered by centuries of human expansion and exploitation. And not unlike other urban centers, the greater Baltimore area faces significant current and future ecological challenges - pollution, water quality, urban sprawl, and climate change, to name a few. The Environmental Sustainability major in the Yale Gordon College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Baltimore offers a unique opportunity for people interested in learning how urban centers are confronting significant ecological and cultural challenges through a multidisciplinary program that combines environmental science, sociology, and public policy. We prepare students for environmental careers that make the world a better place in local, regional, and national government agencies, pre-environmental law, nonprofit organizations, education, environmental consulting and permitting, hygiene, and environmental compliance.
