Water Resources Minor
Environmental Studies Minors
Five multidisciplinary minors are available that have been designed for students with an environmental interest. A full major in a discipline is an important foundation on which to build expertise in a specific environmental area, and the minors are designed to complement majors in the sciences, technology and social sciences. Increasingly, environmental problems are addressed by multidisciplinary teams, so the minors prepare students to operate in this multidisciplinary setting. The environmental minors are coordinated by the Center for Environmental Science (CES), and the director of the CES is the primary contact for the minors. For information on environmental studies and for course prerequisites, also see the Biology, Chemistry, Earth Sciences and Geography sections. For information on environmental options within majors, also see the Biology, Chemistry, Earth Sciences and Geography sections.
