Environmental Studies Minor

Now more than ever before, environmental issues and conservation efforts are defined by complex interactions between human and environmental systems. The environmental studies minor leverages an interdisciplinary approach toward examining these relationships. In the minor, students explore the many ways in which natural and social sciences, humanities, politics, economics, and ethics shape human interactions with the natural world, and the ways in which the natural world in turn influences these human systems. Students hone their ability to communicate environmental issues and solutions, and they have opportunities to apply their knowledge through local and international field experiences.
