Environmental Anthropology

Describe your program

Learning the science behind society and how the environment affects the way a culture’s way of going about life. Human adaptations through nature through science and anthropology courses, in both present day and the past. Create a better understanding of why society functions the way it does within the environment.


Why I created this program

I created this program because I thought it would be the best course direction for me rather than going two entirely different directions. I am very passionate about the environment and learning about humans and society, and I took a class spring semester of my first year that I thought was super interesting, and I thought “why not learn more about the science behind society?” so I decided to try combining anthropology and environmental science.


How this major will help me achieve your educational and professional goals

This major will help me achieve my educational and professional goals because I will be able to successfully combine two of my passions and allow me to further educate not only myself, but others on how society works with the environment. It will help me create a solid foundation for career searching and I think that being able to say that I created my own major is an interesting talking point especially with the two programs I am combining.


Explain why no current PSU program (or a major and minor) could have met my needs

No current PSU program could fulfill my needs because it wouldn’t be combining two different things, if I were to major in anthropology and minor in environmental science, I’d be learning two different entities. I’d rather be able to combine two majors and pick and choose the classes that make the most sense to what I want to be learning.
