Thus, students develop insights and problem-solving skills not as readily available within single disciplines. The minor is useful for students majoring in disciplines that contribute to the solution of environmental problems. Students acquire a broad perspective of the nature of environmental problems and their possible solutions. The minor facilitates cooperative, interdisciplinary problem-solving in subsequent employment or graduate study. Employment opportunities are diverse and are shaped by the student's major.
Environmental jobs can be laboratory, people, writing or outdoor oriented.
There are also self-employment opportunities. The type of internship or particular elective courses are determined jointly by the coordinator and student in the light of the student's goals.
