Environmental studies students must also meet Birmingham-Southern’s
general education requirements and the entry requirements of Duke University.
They should work closely with the program’s advisor in developing
class schedules. Although they are exempted from the 32-unit minimum
course requirement and the stipulation that the last 16 units be completed
at Birmingham-Southern, environmental study students must complete their
first year requirements at Duke University in order to receive the degree
from Birmingham-Southern. Students who do not complete their first year
