Most frequently asked questions are covered in The Major,. A sense of what majors do, what courses they look forward to, and some career advising information is found in the Major's Newsletter. A listing of Environmental Sciences courses is available from our web page; some of the courses have links to web pages that provide additional information about the class. Our faculty are all interested in talking with students, please consult any of your course instructors or any of our faculty for advice.

Career information and careers which our Majors have pursued are provided in Careers in environmental sciences. During a major's years with us, the Department hopes to get each major involved in research with faculty and graduate students. If you are interested in participating in our research or a career in research, please check out the research interests of our faculty and graduate students.We also have an active Mentoring Pprogram which help link majors with our research programs.

Our Environmental Sciences Organization (ESO) is a organization of Major's interested in advising and providing students an understanding of what we do. Each semester, ESO puts on a seminar series for majors, interested undergraduates, and the University community dealing with environmental processes, issues, placement, grad schools and other concerns not generally covered in course work. The College Advisory Board also provides seminars and peer major advisers to help student explore our major.

The Environmental Literacy Program is a good way to gain further information about Environmental Sciences. It provides information on what courses can contribute to various types of environmental understanding and what resources at the University and in the Charlottesville-Albemarle community may be of interest and use to you.

We hold a Fall Fair and a Spring Fair in Clark Hall each year to help introduce students to Environmental Sciences and career opportunities in the field. If you have further questions about who we are and what we do, please call any of our advisors listed in Declaring the Major.
