The Environmental Writing minor is an interdisciplinary program focused on combining the knowledge, approaches, and experiences of the scientific study of the natural world with the skills in creativity and communication of professional writing. As an interdisciplinary minor, the program brings together courses from several different areas of study, including biology, geology, natural resource management, environmental science and sustainability, and English, with the goal of providing students a broad foundation in science and communication while also ensuring enough flexibility to pursue any personal areas of interest at the upper division. The program is designed to be open to students of any major or field of study.
Students with a major or minor in Biology, Ecology, Environmental Sciences, Environmental Sustainability, Natural Resource Science, or Professional Writing should take at least 16 credit hours of the Environmental Writing minor in courses outside of their major or minor.
