Environment & Sustainability Minor

Department website: https://bses.georgetown.edu/curriculum/minor/

The Environment & Sustainability minor encapsulates the learning goals built into the BS-ES degree, including an inherent interdisciplinarity that encompasses science, policy, and humanities perspectives.

In addition to the BS degree, we also offer a minor that is available to students across the University. The minor in Environment & Sustainability is an 18-credit suite of courses, with 13 credits comprising the core and the balance as electives, with a range of options for fulfillment:
