Environmental Studies Program & Environmental Geology Major As reported in the last issue of the Alumni Newsletter, we have implemented a concentration in Environmental Geology, developed in parallel with similar majors in Economics, Biology and Geography. The environmental majors all retain a 'core' of coursework in the departments. In geology, students will take mineralogy, environmental geochemistry, choose from among a suite of courses in "core areas" of geology, and will also take interdisciplinary courses at the introductory and senior levels. We have just a few environmental geology majors in the junior and senior classes, so it is too early to gauge the impact of the new concentration on our overall program.
