MINOR IN ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE

The minor in environmental science requires completion of BIO 1011, 1021, and 1031, ENV 1011, 1021, and 2011, along with three additional courses in the 2000 series (excluding Organic Chemistry I and II) representing at least two of the course groups (including the Policy group) listed above. The chemistry requirement is identical to the major.
