The minor in Environment and Society is designed to provide students with an interdisciplinary understanding of environmental issues, emphasizing the crucial role of public engagement, historical context, and diverse cultural perspectives. Focused on environmental and publicly engaged history, the minor fosters collaborative learning that prepares students from various majors to address complex environmental challenges through community based projects, research, and policy analysis. Its combination of theoretical courses and experiential learning opportunities provides well-rounded training in public environmental studies.
The minor requires a minimum of 18 credits, 9 of which must be in 300-400-level work earned in WSU courses or through WSU-approved education abroad or educational exchange courses.
A grade of C or better is required in all course work for the minor.
