Bachelor [International Studies - Environmental Issues] From Muhlenberg College

Students are strongly urged, in consultation with their faculty advisor, to plan their major early in their career at Muhlenberg so that space can be provided for important Study Aboard experience and/or out-of-classroom learning such as the Washington Semester and internships.

International studies majors are strongly encouraged to demonstrate competence in a language other than English with an additional major or minor in a language. If their schedules do not permit a minor, students are strongly encouraged to take courses in a language through Advanced Conversation & Composition.

This concentration focuses on developing an understanding of the national actors, non-state actors, international institutions, attitudes, and values that have shaped the formulation of international environmental policy. It also examines the environmental context within which many international political crises are rooted. The concentration provides students with the opportunity to acquire a basic knowledge of the strategies and political accommodations required to address problems which flow from environmental crises.
