Environmental Studies

Find your purposeful and meaningful life serving God’s creation in a wide variety of careers

The environmental studies program at Malone is interdisciplinary, giving you a broad background in ethics, economics, and politics in addition to conservation and sustainability. Alongside this curriculum, students also choose a concentration in the form of a second major, allowing you to couple environmental studies with another passion. Courses will emphasize creation care as a natural outgrowth of Christian faith and practice, and you will be prepared to serve God and love others by stewarding the world that He has made and that we share with our global neighbors.
