Want Environmental science, school doesn't have the major. Which major should I do?

<p>I am starting school and have no idea what to major in. I think I would love environmental science and conservation, but my school doesn't have the major and I don't want to transfer. It does have plenty of classes that would fit environmental science (and a couple minors) so I think I could cobble something together on my own. But what major should I use as a base?</p>

<p>Biology, Chemistry, Geology, and Urban & Regional Planning all lead to different areas of focus. Conservation would best mesh with Biology, IMO.</p>

<p>It depends on your interests—if ecology is your interest, do biology; if environmental toxicology is your interest, do chemistry; and so on.</p>
