Minor in Environmental Science & Policy
Clarkson's Environmental Science & Policy BS degree program is a multidisciplinary program that combines a rigorous education in the sciences with a broad policy perspective. Because of its multidisciplinary nature, an ES&P minor would not effectively prepare students in either science or policy. For this reason, the ES&P program offers two minors: environmental science or environmental policy. Both minors require 24 credits of course work. ES&P minors are not available to students majoring in Environmental Science & Policy.
Minor in Environmental Science
-
Fifteen credits of environmental science, nine credits of which must be in 300 level or higher course. Courses are selected from Category I below.
- Six credits of environmental policy. Courses are selected from Category II below.
-
Three credits spread across the following areas:
a. An independent research project (1 credit)
b. An ES&P Multidisciplinary Project Course (1 credit)
c. One of the following 1 credit courses in Category III below.
