Environmental Science and Studies Minor < University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill

The minor is designed for students wishing to remain in another discipline but having an interest in the environment as an area of application. Students must take two core courses designed as preliminary courses in the scientific and societal dimensions of environmental issues and problems and in the tools for their solution.

Students who major in the B.A. or B.S. environmental degree programs are not allowed to minor in environmental science and studies.

In addition to the program requirements listed below, students must:
