Environmental Studies: Environmental Ethics and Policy B.A.
The University’s bachelor of arts in environmental ethics and policy is an interdisciplinary degree track designed to provide students with a firm foundation in environmental science and ecology and the influence these sciences have on the development of political policy, environmental ethics, and recent theological reformulation within the Judeo-Christian tradition. The program culminates in a capstone experience designed to challenge students to apply their area of study to specific issues germane to the Pacific Northwest.
