Issues related to the natural environment grab and demand our attention. Although many of these issues can be addressed with a disciplinary focus, the nature of environmental problems does not fall within a discipline but requires a uniquely interdisciplinary focus to understand the way in which technological advances and human behavior affect fundamental ecological processes, and what political and psychological tactics may be harnessed to address the problem. The Environmental Studies (ENVS) Minor pulls together students and faculty from across the curriculum to explore and understand the nature of environmental processes and the environmental challenges we face.
