About ENSP

Environmental Science and Policy (ENSP) is a broadly multidisciplinary, undergraduate major, drawing courses and faculty from 20 departments and four Colleges.

New ENSP students begin in the College of Agriculture and Natural Resources, where they will be guided through a structured, exploratory advising process. ENSP students are expected to declare a concentration by the end of their third semester in the program and, once they declare their concentration, move administratively to the College and department sponsoring the concentration. There, they are advised by a faculty member in their discipline.

The ENSP faculty and staff aspire to provide a strong ENSP identity and a "liberal arts feel" for the 250+ students enrolled in this major, and we encourage students to take advantage of the resources available at a Research I Public University.

Our Colleges and Concentrations are:

"Best" exploratory courses:
  • ENSP 101 (Core PS)
  • ENSP 102 (You do not need ENSP 101 to take ENSP 102)
  • BSCI 106 (Core LL), GEOG 201/211 (Core PL), GEOL 100/110 (Core PL), ENST 200 (Core LL)
  • AREC 240 (Core SB)
