The Environmental Studies Minor exposes students to the sociocultural and natural processes that underlie human/nature conflicts and the problems that emerge.
This minor entails taking at least 21 credit hours within four substantive categories:
- Introduction to the Environment: What are the fundamental ways we understand the relationship between humans and nature?
- Environmental Science Literacy: What core scientific processes underlie the environmental problems prevalent on our planet?
- The Socio-Cultural Context of Environmental Studies: What social science, natural science, and humanities approaches help us understand the complexities of environmental problems and their potential solutions?
- ENVT 400 – Capstone on Environmental Problem Solving: How do we apply the tools and skills we develop in the courses taken for the minor to a current environmental problem?
