Environmental Studies, Minor
Program Overview
The Environmental Studies Program is a learning community of students and faculty who use the tools of the humanities and social sciences to identify, name, explain, and analyze the causes of our global ecological crisis. The program supports interdisciplinary, community-engaged approaches to designing and implementing solutions to this crisis that are humane, just, and sustainable. Students take courses across three categories: (1) environmental science, (2) environmental humanities, and (3) environmental justice, public policy, and political economy. The knowledge students acquire in these categories applies to all other majors and enhances post-graduate opportunities. Graduates of the program know the importance of social responsibility and are critical thinkers who can analyze quantitative and qualitative data to help solve pressing problems. The minor in Environmental Studies teaches information, values, and skills that are prized by employers.
