The environmental studies program at Randolph College embodies the conviction that to pursue a career in the realm of the environment, a student must grasp the complex interactions that characterize today’s most pressing environmental problems.The goal of Randolph’s environmental studies program is to develop scholars, thinkers, teachers, and activists who back up their passion for the environment with a strong grasp of the underlying science and policy and a comfortable ability to work with numbers. Bachelor’s degrees in environmental studies and environmental science are offered. They are diverse and challenging interdisciplinary programs and give students the knowledge base and practical skills and tools needed for graduate or professional school, private consulting, public advocacy or administration, and careers with government agencies and laboratories, as well as non-governmental organizations. Minors in sustainability and in environmental analysis are appropriate for students in any major who wish to add an environmental or sustainability perspective to their chosen field. Students majoring in environmental studies or environmental science are encouraged to pursue a minor in a relevant discipline such as biology, business, chemistry, marine science, media and culture studies, creative writing, data science, economics, engineering, global studies, computer science, mathematics, political science, psychology, or studio art. In particular, students with an interest in conservation are encouraged to minor in marine science or in biology with courses including botany, zoology, and ecology, and those interested in technical careers to minor in chemistry, computer science, data science, or engineering.
