The Environmental Studies minor offers an interdisciplinary approach to understanding human-environment relationships and addressing contemporary environmental challenges. Drawing from the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences, the program explores topics such as environmental justice, sustainability, and the cultural, ethical, and social dimensions of environmental and climatic issues. The minor fosters critical thinking and leverages local and global perspectives to prepare students for impactful careers in environmentally conscious sectors of government, policy, law, nonprofits, international relations, research and development, education, journalism, consulting, politics, and other areas.
