Environmental Studies (Minor)
The University of Texas at Dallas
Description
This minor will provide students from all majors with a better understanding of environmental issues and the skills to analyze future environmental problems. The name "Environmental Studies" reflects the goal of this interdisciplinary minor to encourage students to learn to view environmental issues from scientific, economic, political, and social standpoints. The 18 semester credit hours of the Environmental Sciences minor enable UT Dallas students to develop expertise in this important area. The framework provides all students with a policy and science perspective and allows students to tailor the minor (through choice of electives) to fit their individual goals. Students are strongly encouraged to include an Environmental Studies Internship/Project (BIS 3310) in their minor.
