For the Minor

What You Need to Know to Complete the Minor

For the Minor in Environmental Science, you will need to take at least five classes, for a minimum of 15 credits. Per University policy, an academic minor should be declared once all of the required courses are completed. For students finishing the minor in their last semester, the minor may be declared while the last required course is being taken. If you have any questions about the minor, let us know and we’ll be happy to help!
