Environmental Studies Concentration
The Environmental Studies Concentration draws upon the disciplinary strengths of a traditional major and a set of courses focused on the environment. Students may utilize environmental studies-related upper-level courses within their own discipline to complete requirements of the concentration if the courses have a significant component that addresses environmental concerns.
- ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES 137
- COURSES REPRESENTING ENVST TRACKS
- ELECTIVES
Students will choose two additional environmental studies courses from among those listed in the major. This may include (but need not) the senior seminar. Elective courses must have a significant component that addresses environmental concerns, but they need not have environmental issues as their exclusive focus.
- EXPERIENTIAL COMPONENT
All students concentrating in Environmental Studies will participate in an experience which applies basic knowledge in a setting beyond the classroom. This may be one of the many off-campus environmental studies courses listed in the catalog, or an internship or research project approved by the Chair. Guidelines and a planning document are available from the chair.

Together the Environmental Studies Department and The Harry C. Piper Center for Vocation and Career has created a handout/timeline describing ways you can integrate experiential learning opportunities throughout your work at St. Olaf. The Piper Center also maintains a database of past internship sites for ES students as well as the resource, Ole Career Central.
