Learn About the Minor in Environmental Studies

A group of Environmental Studies students stands at a table on the South Oval and speaks with prospective students on Sooner Saturday.

Like the major, the minor in Environmental Studies gives you an interdisciplinary skill set. This minor will enhance any major: it teaches you to apply skills from your major to environmental problems, and it exposes you to approaches beyond your main area of study.

The minor is 16 credit hours and includes these courses:

The Cornerstone: an overview of environmental research and teaching across the OU campus
The Research Project: independent study on a topic you choose
The Learning Community: an enrichment experience focused on professional development and a service project
Two interdisciplinary electives
One single-disciplinary elective outside of your major
