Environmental Studies Minor

With the ever-increasing awareness of the impact of humans on the environment an informed citizenry is essential. The Environmental Studies minor is appropriate for students who wish to assume leadership roles in their communities, in business and government, and in conservation organizations. Students will acquire skills useful in the work place, including sampling techniques, collecting and understanding data, methods of effecting political change, and understanding regulatory compliance, with an emphasis on criticizing and synthesizing ideas and information.

Students from all majors are encouraged to complete a minor in Environmental Studies. This minor is particularly beneficial for students majoring in Biology, Biochemistry, Communication, Forensic Science, Public Health and Wellness, and Sociology.
