Environmental Studies (EVST) is an interdisciplinary field that explores human interactions with their environments. These include the effects of human societies on the natural world and the role that environments, both natural and built, have played in shaping human cultures. EVST connects insights from the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences, health sciences, and more to better understand and address the complex environmental issues facing our contemporary world.
