Environmental Studies Degree at Fort Lewis College
Fort Lewis College offers a Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Studies.

The Environmental Studies major will prepare students for graduate studies or careers in environmental management, public policy, government and law, to name a few. You’ll also gain hands-on experience in environmental problem-solving through community-based learning and research. If you are interested in a career or further study in environmental science, there are also environmentally-oriented degree options in Biology and Geology.
