<p>I'm interested in becoming an environmental journalist and writing about animals. I have three options:
1) A double major in biology and environmental studies-environmental nonfiction
2) A major in environmental studies-conservation biology, and a minor in literature
3) A major in biology and minors in environmental studies and literature
I really can't decide which choice to go with. Do you have any insight as to which will be the most appropriate for my future? Thanks.</p>
<p>I’m sure you’re aware of this program (which is awaiting new funding):
[Fellowships</a> in Environmental Journalism | Middlebury](<a href=“Franklin Environmental Center at Hillcrest | Middlebury”>Franklin Environmental Center at Hillcrest | Middlebury)</p>
<p>Why not sent an email to <a href=“mailto:fiej@middlebury.edu”>fiej@middlebury.edu</a>? They’ll be able to offer better advice than most people on this forum.</p>
<p>Your major matters about as much as your hair color in terms of impact on your future. I was an art history major before becoming an environmental/land use attorney (before moving on to a more creative career). What matters is that you develop the ability to learn quickly, to express yourself, and to think creatively. Have fun.</p>
<p>Take classes in all the areas you mentioned, and see what inspires you. That’s the beauty of a small LAC. You may discover passions you never knew you had…</p>
