Description
The Environmental Science Minor draws upon coursework from the Biology, Environmental Studies, and Earth and Environmental Science Departments to give students an understanding of the complex biological, chemical, human, and physical aspects of the natural world. Emphasis is placed on lab-based science courses that focus on life, soil, the solid earth, and water and human interactions with these systems.
