Return to {$returnto_text} Return to: Department Programs List

The environmental studies minor is designed primarily to serve undergraduate education and environmental literacy. Research and graduate education, and community education and service are other goals. Top priority is given to providing a large number of students with the opportunity to assess the nature, scope and complexities of present and impending environmental problems. Other objectives include the provision of public education programs on environmental issues and the stimulation of interdisciplinary research on environmental problems. The development of expertise as an environmental specialist can be pursued through the Environmental Studies major.

Total Credits: 22 to 24


Additional Information


Students choosing an Environmental Studies minor will propose an upper division elective course in consultation with, and subject to, the pre-approval of the ENST Director. This elective course must be taken for a grade and be in a department outside the student’s major. The following courses, however, will automatically be accepted without pre-approval provided they meet the other elective requirements: ANTH/GEOG 440, BIOL 360, ECON 462, ENST 455. GEOG 445, or HIST 454.

The minor requires that students finish with a minimum 2.0 GPA for their 22-24 program credits, and students must also earn at least a C- in each of the five courses that comprise their ENST program.
