The Environmental Management program prepares students to apply the
principles of environmental science and engineering to contemporary
environmental problems in both natural resource and industrial contexts.
Students from a variety of majors can pursue an interdisciplinary minor
in Environmental Management. After completing prerequisite foundation
courses in science and math, students pursue the minor by completing
core courses and a concentration, optionally culminating in a capstone
thesis or project. The Environmental Management program strives to
develop graduates who are literate in and competent with the foundation
sciences and mathematics underlying environmental science and
engineering, and who can apply science and technology to a broad range
of practical environmental problems.
The Environmental Management minor requires a total of 22 credit,
excluding prerequisite cognate courses and an optional seminar and
thesis. The cognate courses, or their equivalents, must have been
completed successfully before the student may be enrolled in the
Environmental Management minor. This may be accomplished as part of the
student's major.
