The Bachelor of Arts in Environmental Biology at Barnard College (affiliated with Columbia University) provides students with a multidisciplinary foundation in biological sciences as applied to environmental challenges. The program emphasizes understanding the structure, function, and interrelationships of living systems within Earth's changing environment, focusing on critical issues such as climate change and biodiversity loss. Students take courses across Environmental Science and Biology departments, participate in laboratory and fieldwork, and gain experience in hypothesis testing, data interpretation, scientific communication, and research. The program is designed to prepare students for careers or further study in conservation, ecology, policy, education, and research. The curriculum includes introductory and advanced courses in biology, environmental science, chemistry, physics, statistics, and mathematics, alongside advanced electives in areas such as ecology, genetics, morphology, and physiology. A senior thesis and research seminar are required, often involving a faculty-mentored research internship. Barnard's location in New York and its affiliations with Columbia University, Black Rock Forest, and other institutions provide extensive opportunities for hands-on learning and research. 来源： https://bulletin.columbia.edu/general-studies/majors-concentrations/environmental-biology/environmental-biology.pdf
