Minor in Environmental Studies
The minor addresses the scientific, technical, social, and cultural
issues raised by the conflicting needs of the worldwide complex of preindustrial,
industrial, and postindustrial societies.
Some of the courses related to the minor, particularly those in Group
A, have significant prerequisites; students planning an Environmental
Studies minor should check catalog course descriptions carefully. Some
credit toward the minor may be gained through independent study, field
research, study abroad, the Academic Internship Program, and others
(prior approval strongly recommended). Petitions for petitionable
courses,
transfer courses, and individual additions to the courses listed below
must be approved by the chair of the Environmental Studies Steering
Committee. For updates, individual advising, and quarterly lists, please
come to the Environmental Studies Office: Muir Interdisciplinary Studies,
2073 HSS, mail code 0106, phone (858) 534-3589.
Applicable and Petitionable Courses
Environmentally-based courses offered by UCSD departments fall into
two categories: applicable and petitionable. Applicable courses are
those which have been approved as always applying to the ENVR minor.
Petitionable courses are either new and
therefore not yet approved as applicable or are topics courses
which focus on environmental matters only in particular quarters. Petitionable
courses may be approved by petition to the minor during the quarters
in which they appear in the ENVR quarterly lists.
Quarterly Lists
Each quarter, when the upcoming quarters Schedule of Classes
is published, the Environmental Studies quarterly list is available
in 2073 HSS and at the Web site. It is an important, comprehensive
source of information about ENVR course offerings as well as those
from departments
throughout the campus. It identifies applicable as well as petitionable
courses for a given quarter. For reference, the office and the Web
site
maintain archives of quarterly lists.
The minor is structured as follows:
Required: Environmental Studies 30, usually offered in the fall quarter.
Environmental Studies 130, usually offered in the spring quarter (need
not be taken consecutively).
Required: Five additional courses, at least four in the upper-division,
from the following two groups. At least one course must be taken from
Group A and one from Group B.
