The environmental studies major offers students a variety of educational endeavors that expand the classroom learning to new levels. The wide array of excellent courses will build the foundation of knowledge necessary to be successful in a multitude of fields. To truly take advantage of the program, it is encouraged of all students to engage in research, take part in an internship, and study abroad to develop the practical skills and experience to prepare for life after Eckerd. In an effort to assist your efforts, we have pulled together information related to student opportunities during your studies and beyond.
