EPC MINOR REQUIREMENTS

The minor in Environmental Policy and Culture provides students with an interdisciplinary program of study that develops an understanding of how environmental issues are always social, cultural and political and never solely natural or technical.  More broadly, the EPC minor helps students appreciate how interconnection – the fundamental premise of ecology – applies to human systems as much as to nonhuman ones.

Students pursuing the minor are encouraged to consult with the program’s Director of Undergraduate Studies, Dr. Melissa Rosenzweig, to establish their program of study.

An EPC Minor Worksheet is available to help students track their progress.

When ready to declare the EPC adjunct major, students should complete and submit a Minor Declaration Form.

Double-counting: EPC allows up to 1 course to double-count toward the EPC minor. It is important for students to check with their other major and minor programs to determine if they allow double-counting as well.
