Abstract

The environmental curriculum study involved the feasibility of initiating a bachelor’s degree program in environmental transportation studies. It involved surveys of high school students and environmental firms to determine their needs. Also, about 150 universities across the country provided data on their environmental studies curricula. The final report for this effort is entitled “Development of a Model for a Bachelor of Science Program in Environmental Studies.” The university curricula data collected for this effort have been put in a user-friendly database.
