Environmental studies (ENVS) is the academic component of the COE. ENVS is offered as a linked major or minor. All ENVS linked majors have a primary major in another academic department or program. So linked equals more, not less!
Our current and past students hail from almost every single department and program Wesleyan has to offer: from government, art, and chemistry to economics, English, and earth and environmental sciences to film studies, sociology, and biology. In addition, the COE supports enviro-related opportunities with faculty-student research grants, our COE Think Tank, and for all Wes undergrad students, regardless of their major, through our COE Summer Research Fellowship Program.
