The Environmental Studies program at FLAME is one of the first such programs to be offered at the undergraduate level in all of India .
With the growth of the population globally and in India , several critical environmental issues need to be addressed. These include the management of water resources, climate change and global warming, contamination and pollution of our environment, and food and energy needs amongst others. To address such critical issues, we use a multi-disciplinary approach combining methods from the natural sciences, the physical sciences, the social sciences and the humanities. Our goal is to offer students an opportunity to understand the environment and important environmental issues by emphasizing both scientific concepts and applications together with socio-political aspects of these issues. So the program brings together faculty and courses from the earth sciences, geology, geography, biological sciences, chemistry, economics, political science, south asian studies and public policy studies.
The program is structured to provide an in-depth understanding of various environmental topics using a multi-disciplinary approach which emphasizes both the scientific reasoning and the socio-political aspects of particular environmental issues. Additionally, the program will incorporate field experience, hands-on project management, and collaborative research undertakings in India to prepare students for future careers in the non-profit, academic and corporate sectors in India and abroad.
