Environmental Studies Program Description
The proposed Environmental Studies program (B.A.) at Loyola is an interdisciplinary program that will provide students with an education that fosters knowledge of environmental systems through a background in basic and applied science; promotes <br>engagement with environmental issues and assessment of environmental and social systems; and the need for participatory action that responds to the ‘cries of the Earth and <br>poor’ across society – thus training students to be integral ecologists and to serve others in a diverse and changing world.
