Environmental Studies Major & Concentration The environmental studies program at Randolph-Macon Woman’s College embodies the conviction that to pursue life work in the realm of the environment, you must grasp the complex interactions that characterize today’s most pressing environmental problems. Since these problems lie at the nexus of natural sciences, social sciences and humanities, R-MWC environmental studies provides a rigorous, interdisciplinary course of study, enriched with practical experiences.

Environmental studies majors are also encouraged to participate in one or more environmental internships available locally, throughout the U.S., and internationally. Many academic opportunities at R-MWC are also appropriate for environmental studies majors, such as the Marine Biological Laboratory in Environmental Science, Washington Semester Programs, and Study Abroad. The environmental studies B.A. can provide excellent preparation for graduate or professional school, private consulting, public advocacy, and careers with government agencies and laboratories as well as non-governmental organizations.
