Very Wide Range of Classes and Interdisciplinary

You can take almost any class at UVM and have it count towards the Environmental Studies major. The ENVS advisors and program directors are incredibly helpful and always make themselves available. ENVS classes typically have many guest lectures that feature great professors and their experiences/specialties that relate to the class. Also, there are 6 different concentrations you can branch off into, including ecology and conservation, environmental policy, health, sustainability, etc.

However, I am in the Rubenstein School and there are a few super annoying general education requirements (3 credits in each: speech, math, statistics, writing, and "race and culture in natural resources" (aka the worst class ever)). BUT don't let this make you hate the Rubenstein School! It is kind of like a cult; everyone knows other Rubensteiners and since it's the smallest school on campus, it offers great barbeques, picnics, and muffin breakfast days!!
