The Environmental Studies Minor allows interested non-majors to participate in Hamline’s rich, interdisciplinary offerings related to the Environment, including via clusters around environmental writing and communication, ecology, and community engagement. This 20-credit program provides an achievable, coherent minor that introduces students to the pressing environmental issues of our time, familiarizes them with approaches to mitigate and adapt to environmental change, and provides valuable skills in systems thinking, community engagement, communication, collaboration, and other relevant environmental competencies.
