Environmental Studies
This program may be started at any campus and is completed only at Penn State Altoona.

The B.A. in Environmental Studies major is designed to provide students with integrated and critical knowledge of the natural environment and human interactions with it. Students will receive a strong foundation in the natural sciences but will extend their studies across several disciplines, emphasizing both public policy issues and the role of the natural environment in history and culture.The goal of the program is "ecological literacy" which means that students will develop a broad based understanding and awareness of environments and environmental issues, and they will develop the problem solving skills to address those concerns.

The B.A. in Environmental Studies is offered by Penn State's Altoona College.
