About the Program
Students who minor in environmental and sustainability studies will acquire at least
a basic scientific understanding of environmental processes, acquire some understanding
of the significance of human societies' interactions with and impacts on the environment
and cultivate a critical awareness of humans' ethical, political and aesthetic relationships
to the environment.
Because the ESS minor is an interdisciplinary minor composed of courses drawn from
across the disciplines, students who seek a minor in ESS will have the opportunity
to link environmental studies to the curriculum requirements for their respective
majors and the general education program.
