Environmental Studies:  Advising Sheet A

Scheduling Courses

 

The Environmental Studies Minor consists of 26-29 hours of course work drawn from offerings in various disciplines across the college.  Two core courses, 1) Ecology or Environmental Science and 2) Environmental History will be required.  Twelve required "foundation hours" include 6-7 hours from two social science programs and the Physical Science courses of Environmental Chemistry and Environmental Geology.  The remaining 8-10 hours will be chosen as electives.

 

Classes with no notes are taught annually.    * Denotes every other year.
