The environmental and sustainability sciences minor provides undergraduates with a strong foundation in a variety of scientific, technical, institutional, economic, behavioral, and conservation-oriented solutions to environmental problems caused by either natural phenomena and/or human activity.
There are a number of interdisciplinary opportunities involving environmental and sustainability sciences. Due to curricular overlap, combinations of any environmental and sustainability sciences major, including combined majors, cannot occur with majors or minors in ecology and evolutionary biology, environmental studies, or with the minor in geoscience.
Complete all courses listed below unless otherwise indicated. Also complete any corequisite labs, recitations, clinicals, or tools courses where specified.
