Environmental Studies Minor
The environmental studies minor is an
interdisciplinary program. Students in the program work closely with faculty advisors to
form a study plan based on their specific goals and interests. Depending on individual
interests and career objectives, students usually combine the minor with a major in
biology, chemistry, geology, or geography.
Courses required for the environmental studies minor include:
- General Botany or Vertebrate Zoology
- General Ecology
- General Chemistry (2 courses)
- Field Experience
- Global Weather and Climate Systems or Landforms and Landscapes
- Environmental Conservation and Development or Land Resource Management
- Physical Geology or Environmental Geology
Students also choose three supporting courses that represent two departments outside
their major. Some supporting courses explicitly related to the environment include:
Biology
- Local Flora
- Plant Morphology
- Taxonomy of Vascular Plants
- Invertebrate Zoology
- Entomology Applied Ecology
- Aquatic Biology
Chemistry
- General Chemistry
- Quantitative Analytical Chemistry
Geography
- Water and Land Resources
- Water Resources Management
- Geographic Information Systems & Remote Sensing
Geology

- Hydrogeology
Political Science

Please see the Augustana catalog for a more detailed listing of the required and
supporting courses for the environmental studies minor.
