ENVIRONMENTAL AND SUSTAINABILITY STUDIES MINOR

The ESS Minor is open to students in ALL majors and encompasses courses from colleges across the campus. It is part of CAPPA--the College of Architecture, Planning, and Public Affairs.

This broadly interdisciplinary minor provides students a powerful way to enrich their education and more effectively apply their major field of study to some of the most complex and crucial problems of the 21st century.

In an era when concerns about the atmosphere, oceans, biodiversity, energy, urban sprawl, human health, and environmental justice are dramatically intensifying, the ESS minor opens important new career paths and responds to the need for environmentally well-informed citizens in all areas of contemporary society.

The 18 credit hour ESS minor can be combined with most majors and, in some cases, already completed coursework will qualify for credit.

Grades of "C" or better required for all minor courses.
