The conservation biology minor provides an interdisciplinary foundation for students who want to understand and respond to today’s most urgent environmental challenges, including biodiversity loss, habitat degradation, invasive species, and climate change. The minor integrates biological concepts (ecology, evolution, biodiversity, and genetics) with the human dimensions that shape conservation outcomes, including policy, ethics, and society. Students develop the ability to evaluate conservation problems using evidence and real-world case studies, and to design practical solutions that balance ecological sustainability with social and economic considerations. Open to all majors.
