A maximum of six credits in ENV 401 may be used toward the minor program. These earned credits may be substituted for one course in each of two different areas of concentration, as listed above.
Students are advised to gain the approval of an environmental studies adviser and the student’s major department before registering for selected courses each semester; the adviser works with the student in designing an appropriate program. No student minoring in environmental studies may include more than six credits from courses in his or her major department. If credits from the major department are used, they must be in addition to those earned to fulfill the requirements for the major. |
