Environmental Social Science

The Minor in Environmental Social Science, which is administered by the Department of Sociology, enhances the education of students who are interested in issues relating to the environment, including those who wish to prepare themselves for advanced degree programs in environmental social science or careers in related fields.

The minor is available as an elective to students who are enrolled in bachelor’s degree programs at Michigan State University.  With the approval of the department and college that administer the student’s degree program, the courses that are used to satisfy the requirements for the minor may also be used to satisfy the requirements for the bachelor’s degree.
