Overview
The Environmental Ethics Minor is designed for students to become familiar with the ethical relationship of humans to the natural environment and its inhabitants, particularly in a time of global warming, loss of rare habitats and species, and sustainability and green technology initiatives. Environmental Ethics draws on perspectives from other disciplines, and so this program incorporates an interdisciplinary approach by allowing designated courses from other departments to count as partial credit towards the minor.
