<p>So Vassar doesn’t have environmental science. They do have environmental studies, which is a multidisciplinary major, and is extremely well loved by students. But it’s not all science all the time - it’s also political science, international studies, english, earth science, geography, sociology… etc etc etc. If that’s what you are interested in, then it will be fantastic. They also always have trip classes, which are really popular and interesting!</p>
<p>I’d take a look at a few different departments to see if what they offer is what you want. All of these programs are great.</p>
<p>Environmental studies - [Environmental</a> Studies - Vassar College](<a href=“http://environmentalstudies.vassar.edu/]Environmental”>http://environmentalstudies.vassar.edu/) is the program’s website and will give you a sense of their philosophy, the faculty involved, and other info. Their courses for next year are listed here: [Environmental</a> Studies Program - 2010/11 Catalogue - Vassar College](<a href=“http://catalogue.vassar.edu/courses/enst/]Environmental”>http://catalogue.vassar.edu/courses/enst/)</p>
<p>Earth Science and Geography - [Home</a> - Earth Science and Geography - Vassar College](<a href=“http://earthscienceandgeography.vassar.edu/]Home”>http://earthscienceandgeography.vassar.edu/) is the programs web site. You can major in earth science, geography, or earth science and society, which is a combo of both. Geography is not maps (!!!), and their courses are often on really interesting topics. Earth science courses are listed here: [Earth</a> Science - 2010/11 Catalogue - Vassar College](<a href=“http://catalogue.vassar.edu/courses/esci/]Earth”>http://catalogue.vassar.edu/courses/esci/) and geography courses are listed here: [Geography</a> - 2010/11 Catalogue - Vassar College](<a href=“http://catalogue.vassar.edu/courses/geog/]Geography”>http://catalogue.vassar.edu/courses/geog/)</p>
