Environmental Policy Minor
|
|
 Return to: Majors, Options, and Minors
Coordinator: Brad Clark (Political Science)
The Environmental Policy minor would be an excellent addition to any major at Fort Lewis College – except Environmental Studies. By completing the Environmental Policy minor, students can enhance their preparation for graduate school or a career in areas such as environmental management, public policy, environmental justice, government, law, and tribal government or law. As described for the Environmental Studies major, the Environmental Policy minor is interdisciplinary and is designed to prepare dynamic leaders who can negotiate the ecological and sociocultural aspects of complex environmental problems. Students are strongly encouraged to work closely with their advisors to ensure they design a course of study that best suits their career goals and fulfills all perquisites and general education requirements in a timely fashion. Students interested in completing the minor should contact the Program Coordinator to learn about the courses, internships, and practicum opportunities.
There are two required components to the minor:
1. Students select 18 credits from a list of existing courses representing the diverse perspectives on environmental policy (see below).
2. Students must take PS 130 (Intro to Environmental Policy) at the beginning of their minor-related coursework and ENVS 495 (Environmental Colloquium) during their junior or senior year. The latter course is one in which students and faculty of varied backgrounds come together to work on joint projects related to local, regional, or national environmental concerns.
