—Fraser M., Biology-
Environmental Studies combined major
“One of my favorite classes I’ve taken was RELIGION AS
POPULAR CULTURE, which reviewed instances of public life
that would normally be considered secular. We talked about
the Super Bowl, the Kardashians, Co-Star and other
astrology apps, etc. and the application of religious
thought structures to social life.”
—Rosa W., Anthropology major
“THE BIOLOGICAL WORLD, INTRO TO
ENVIRONMENTAL STUDIES, and THE PASTORAL,
THE WILD, AND THE COMMONS changed
me as a person because I became more conscious
of my role as an individual in natural and human
systems, I became better at seeing the
natural world, and I came to recognize the
importance of people in habitat management.”
“I would 100% recommend DEVELOPMENTAL PSYCHOLOGY,
especially if you want to work with children in any capacity. I also
adored the PSYCHOLOGY OF LEARNING course taught by Wally
Herbranson in which we trained rats to play basketball!”
—Madi W., Psychology and Hispanic Studies double major
