Minor - Environmental Studies
Description
A minor in environmental studies is designed to introduce students to an
interdisciplinary approach to environmental concerns, including: 1) a
study of human/environmental interactions from the viewpoint of the
social sciences; 2) a reflection on environmental themes in the arts and
humanities; 3) the scientific foundations of environmental thought.
Course Requirements
The environmental studies minor consists of Envs 101, either Bisc 104
or Bisc 162, and 12 hours of approved electives. The approved electives
must include a minimum of 3 hours in at least two of the three
discipline categories: humanities, natural sciences, and social
sciences. Students who complete relevant internships, study abroad
courses, and special topics courses will consult with the environmental
studies director prior to enrollment in the course for approval and to
determine the appropriate category (humanities, natural sciences,
social sciences) for the course.
