Environmental Studies

The Environmental Studies Minor is designed to help students appreciate the diversity and complexity of current environmental issues. Solving environmental problems requires an interdisciplinary approach and frequently involves collaboration of individuals with expertise in the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities. Therefore, students are encouraged to view the environment from different perspectives, to integrate the knowledge they acquire with their in-depth knowledge in their major, and to gain practical experience through an internship with an environmental focus.
