The University of the South currently offers over 50 courses related to or specifically focused on the environment, all of which are available as electives for students regardless of their declared major. Students interested in environmental study are encouraged to take as many of these courses as appropriate to their particular major and their specific interest in the environment.

Note: All requirements must be completed within the Sewanee curriculum. Exceptions are made only with the prior approval of the environmental studies chair. Students majoring in one of the departments offering environmental courses must take at least one such course from within their major.
