Minor Requirements

To obtain a Minor in Earth and Environmental Sciences, students must complete 22 credit hours offered from the Department of Earth, Environmental, and Geographical Sciences   and the Department of Biological Sciences . Participating students have some flexibility in choosing elective courses that reflect their specific area of interest within the environmental field. If students are majoring in the departments of Earth, Environmental, and Geographical Sciences or Biological Sciences, they must take at least 12 credits outside of their major subject area (that is, outside of BIOL, ESCI, GEOG, GEOL, or METR, depending on the student’s major). Likewise, Environmental Studies majors must take the 12 elective credits outside of GEOG. 

Students may not double count major requirements or electives for elective courses in the minor.

Total = 22 Credit Hours

Progression Requirements

Students must maintain a GPA of at least 2.50 to participate in the program.
