The minor in Environmental Sociology is designed to give students a broader understanding of the social factors that cause environmental problems, and how social change can be mobilized to solve these problems. This minor helps students understand the interconnectedness of society and environment, how social inequalities give rise to environmental inequalities, and how environmental problems such as climate change and the proliferation of plastic waste are created and contextualized by human practices. For students majoring in such fields as environmental science, finance, economics, global studies, biology, Sustainability & Innovation (Entrepreneurship), or engineering, the minor in environmental sociology complements their training with a social science focus on environmental issues.
