Minor in Environmental Issues

The cross-cultural, interdisciplinary minor in environmental issues responds to the growing importance of environmental issues both in this country and in other major areas of the world. It offers in-depth study of issues about which future professionals will need to be well informed in order to operate effectively in the fields of diplomacy, government, politics, developmental policy, international business, and international trade.

The environmental issues minor requires a minimum of 24 credits, including a directed independent study and a minor thesis on environmental issues and public policy. There is also a prerequisite of 6 to 8 credits in environmental biology, ecology, and/or atmospheric science. The minor is administered through the Office of the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences and is open to students in all disciplines.
