| Environmental Studies to include an Area of Concentration in Environment, Society, and Policy Program Description |
| The proposed environmental studies concentration leading to a bachelor of arts at Loyola is an interdisciplinary liberal arts concentration that will provide students with an education <br>that fosters knowledge of environmental systems through a background in basic and applied science; promotes engagement with environmental issues and assessment of environmental and social systems; and the need for participatory action that responds to the ‘cries of the <br>Earth and poor’ across society – thus training students to be integral ecologists and to serve others in a diverse and changing world. The Environment, Society, and Policy concentration is a quantitative concentration in which students will focus their studies on the analysis of the intersections of social and economic policies with the natural world. The concentration will build students’ green skills, through high quality, liberal arts instruction with an environmental focus. |
