There are many study abroad options that count towards the Environmental Studies (ENVS) Degree. Within each of these programs, certain classes have been approved to apply towards ENVS degree requirements (see PDFs below for lists of those classes and the requirements they satisfy). Other study abroad courses in these and other programs may be taken for core or elective credit at CU, but only classes on the PDFs below may count for the ENVS major. In the future it is possible that additional courses or locations will be included, but currently the only locations with classes that count are listed below.

Please be aware that not all courses at each location count for the Environmental Studies Degree, so check the list carefully, and do not assume unlisted courses will count. Contact your academic advisor with any questions.
