I’d make sure you work in some math and science prereq’s while you are in undergrad to ensure you can apply right away. But it will depend on the program. For instance UVA’s page says

“The Environmental Sciences Department offers graduate students a multi-disciplinary education in a program that emphasizes basic research and that requires a background in the physical and biological sciences and mathematics.”

and The Ohio U says

“Interdisciplinary
The Master of Science in environmental studies is an interdisciplinary program of graduate coursework and research. Created in 1970, the program meets the needs of students looking for a broader academic experience than a traditional course of study can provide. The program gives students the flexibility to pursue coursework and research spanning several disciplines. Students’ backgrounds run the gamut from business, humanities, and social sciences to physical and biological sciences and engineering. All share a high level of professional motivation and concern for the future of our environment.”

Start reading various universities grad pages for the dept to see what kinds of electives you should take now to be a prepared candidate for a Master’s program.
