Introduction
Environmental Studies is an interdepartmental program designed to introduce students to environmental problems associated with modern civilizations. The program includes a multidisciplinary study of the effects of resource utilization, energy generation, waste disposal, and agricultural systems, as well as of the emergence of environment as a focus of public policy. Students in the College of Arts and Sciences may earn a second major in a B.A. program or a certificate in environmental studies. For information, contact the Undergraduate Advising Office, SPEA 240, (812) 855-0635.
Major in Environmental Studies
Students who choose this program as a second major must also complete the requirements for a first major (B.A. only) in a department of the College of Arts and Sciences. These students must complete in each major at least 25 credit hours that are not applied to the other major. They may thus need to complete additional courses in one or both majors.
Two options are available for the environmental studies major. Option I is primarily for students in biological and physical sciences, whereas Option II is primarily for students in social and historical studies or arts and humanities.
Option I-Biological or Physical Sciences Majors
Note that most of these courses have required or recommended prerequisites (see the course description under the appropriate department). Biology L350 may not be used to fulfill biological requirements by students also majoring in biology. Students contemplating graduate study in science should consider Chemistry C117-C118, Physics P221-P222, and Mathematics M211-M212 in selecting prerequisites.
Requirements
Option II-Social and Historical Studies or Arts and Humanities Majors
Requirements
Students must complete the requirements of one other major (B.A.) of their choice.
Note: All College of Arts and Sciences majors must have a minimum of 25 College of Arts and Science credit hours with grades of no less than C-. Credit hours outside the College may not, under any circumstances, count toward this 25 credit hour minimum (although courses outside the College may still, by exception, satisfy major requirements).

Introduction
The school offers three outstanding degree programs: the two-year Associate of Science program in optometric technology for optometric technicians and opticians, the Doctor of Optometry program for the education of optometrists, and the graduate program in vision science, which leads to the Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy degrees for those interested in research and teaching.
Optician/Technician Program
Students completing the program are qualified to begin a career as an optometric technician or an optician. The general nontechnical courses, such as English composition and required electives, may be completed either before or after the technical courses. An additional option allows students to become laboratory opticians by completing courses in lens surfacing and fabrication (optician's laboratory concentration).
Doctor of Optometry Program
A student may be admitted to the school's Doctor of Optometry program after earning a bachelor's degree or after completing a minimum of 90 credit hours in the College of Arts and Sciences. Major areas of concentration are typically in the physical, biological, or behavioral sciences, but other fields may be selected. General courses specifically required for admission to the optometry program are listed in the School of Optometry bulletin.
Bachelor's Degree—O.D. Program
A student who is admitted to the School of Optometry after completing 90 credit hours in the College of Arts and Sciences and who has satisfied the fundamental skills, distribution, and major concentration requirements, including a concentration in a department of the College, may apply 32 credit hours in optometry as electives toward the bachelor's degree to be received in the initial major. See also General Requirements for Bachelor's Degrees in this bulletin.
Courses for the Nonmajor
Certain courses offered by the School of Optometry, such as those that examine fundamental aspects of vision, may have application to the career fields of students completing majors in other degree programs. With the necessary prerequisites and permission of both the instructor and the dean of the School of Optometry, a nonmajor may be allowed to register for one such optometry course per semester or summer session. For advice on optometry courses that might fulfill a specific objective, the student should consult the Office of Student Administration, School of Optometry 310, (812) 855-1917.
