Program Description

The Honors Integrated Minor in Ecology and Legacy focuses on human and nonhuman relationships in their ecosystems and responds to the urgent need for multidisciplinary training to think critically about ecosystem well-being in connection to societies and cultures. The integrated coursework introduces students to diverse scientific and humanistic approaches to ecology that shape our understanding of “nature” and prepares students to engage with issues of ecology, conservation, and environmental justice. Investigating these issues both in class and out in the field, students in the Honors Integrated Minor in Ecology and Legacy pursue place-based studies and practices that orient their own ecological commitments.
