Incorporating the Sustainability Minor into the EENR Major
For Ecology, Evolution & Natural Resource students who are interested in completing the Minor in Sustainability, we have compiled a list of courses (see below) that will NOT only fulfill some categories in the EENR Major but ALSO fulfill the Sustainability Minor. You are not compelled to only take these courses listed below, this is meant as a suggestion. Information in this document should be verified as changes to course designations happen all the time.
Note: To get a minor in sustainability only three additional courses would need to be taken that do not also satisfy either the EENR requirements/electives or core credit in SEBS or both.
The sustainability minor consists of:
- 3 required courses (Introduction to Sustainability, Sustainability Decision Tools, and Controversies in Sustainability)
- Electives in three areas of interest (Resource Management Systems (RMS), Governance (GOV), and Economics and Social Systems (ESS))
- Sustainability practicum course or internship
Foundations (9 cr) – all must be taken to get sustainability minor
