Program Overview

Introduction to the Environment and Society Minor

The Environment and Society Minor is an interdisciplinary program that allows students to explore the consequences of human actions on the environment and how these actions affect us. The program is offered by the Faculty of Arts and includes science content, but primarily focuses on humanities and social sciences approaches.
