Minor in Environmental Studies
About the Minor
The Environmental Studies minor is for students who would like to complement their major field of study with a perspective on environmental issues that foregrounds the social sciences and humanities. ENSS minors learn from nationally and internationally acclaimed scholars in environmental politics, environmental sociology, environmental philosophy, global studies, and science and technology studies. The interdisciplinary perspective offered by the minor equips graduates to communicate persuasively about environmental issues, promote evidence-based environmental policies, and lead coalitions that reach across scientific, humanistic, and policy realms.
All prospective students should meet with an advisor from the College as soon as possible.
