Retired Environmental Analysis Minor
This minor is no longer available. It was sunset in Fall 2023 and the last student will graduate in Spring 2026.
Our Environmental Analysis Minor was an 18-credit minor that includes deep training in analysis, critical thinking, and problem-solving. The coursework includes opportunities for interdisciplinary, collaborative, project-based, and community-engaged learning. It is designed to pair well with disciplinary-based majors to provide interdisciplinary, applied experiences that can be leveraged for career and job preparation. Most courses do not have pre-requisites. Courses that appear as options in multiple sections may only be taken for credit toward one section of the minor. This minor was sunset in 2023 and the last student will graduate in Spring 2026.
