Environmental Studies Minor One of the greatest challenges facing us today is to fashion a society that accommodates human activities without threatening the ecosystems that support us.
Education is of critical importance in achieving a balance between humanity and the rest of nature.
ES also allows students to study the interconnection between disciplines too often kept separate. Students in the ES minor pick courses offered by many departments in order to weave together different perspectives on the environment. The courses have been chosen because a significant portion of the course content is devoted to environmental issues. The courses valid for the minor will be cross-listed with other department offerings and will appear under the environmental science heading in the class schedule. Examples of practicums accomplished by ES students are included in the environmental studies WWW page.
