Welcome Franklin and Marshall College offers an interdisciplinary minor in Environmental Studies for those students who wish to study human interactions with the environment. The program focuses on the integration of knowledge from different disciplines and seeks to identify the connections among issues that go beyond the boundaries of traditional disciplines.
Emphasis is placed on problem-solving and application of theory to practical experience.
Past students have continued graduate studies in fields such as law resource economics, forestry, ecology, waste management, and environmental geosciences. The minor is an excellent way to improve understanding of complex issues such as global climate change, resource management, biodiversity, wilderness protection, and environmental policy.
