Boundaries between disciplines are largely artificial, and addressing the world’s problems requires combining knowledge in new ways.
COA has one, self-designed major in human ecology. You have the flexibility and freedom to design a curriculum that is right for you.https://www.youtube.com/embed/2736IZGukfg?rel=0&wmode=transparent
The areas of study we’ve listed are constellations of interests—topics or ideas around which students and faculty cluster. They’re neither majors nor formal concentrations.
- Biomedical Studies & Molecular Biology
- Climate Change & Energy
- Community Planning & Ecological Policy
- Culture & Place
- Educational Studies
- Environmental Law & Politics

You may find yourself pulled towards one or more of these areas. You may have some other area of study in mind: perhaps something that is unique to you and doesn’t even have a name. Or you may see strands of knowledge as so interwoven that the idea of areas seems too limiting.
