Description

Environmental science is the study of how the earth’s natural environmental processes work, how they have been or can be modified by humans and society, and how such modifications impact on the biosphere, from the individual level up through the ecosystem level. An environmental science minor provides students the opportunity to expand their education to include a coherent program in the scientific aspects of how we interact with and modify the earth’s environment.
