John M. Whiteley, Department Chair (Acting)
Requirements for the Bachelor's Degree
The Department of Environmental Analysis and Design is concerned with the interactions between the physical environment and human health and behavior. Students begin with basic courses in human ecology, environmental quality, environmental psychology, urban sociology, and planning and public policy. Subsequent course work moves toward problem-oriented courses in these areas, enriched by ongoing faculty and student research on such topics as the effects of environmental stressors (e.g., crowding, smog, noise); environmental pollution; the biology and politics of water pollution; potential impacts of natural disasters; compliance with environmental regulations; the way in which economic changes in a community affect the health and well-being of its residents; the effects of stress on health; causes and consequences of urbanization and population change; and risk assessment. The undergraduate program leads to a B.A. degree in Environmental Analysis and Design.
In addition to providing basic knowledge for students in other areas, courses are relevant to professional careers in the areas of administration, environmental quality and health, environmental impact assessment, urban and regional planning and community environmental education. Graduate and professional opportunities related to environmental analysis include urban and regional planning, architecture, environmental psychology, ecology, public health, and urban sociology. Special emphasis is placed upon the roles of individual citizens and community organizations, both governmental and private, in maintaining and enhancing the quality of the human environment. Field study is done in city planning departments, private consulting firms, environmental information centers, pollution control agencies, and health agencies.
