Minor in Environmental
Values
The minor in Environmental Values may be added to any bachelor's program at
UW. This minor creates a vital link among the natural sciences, humanities, and
social sciences through exploration of aesthetics, culture, ethics, and
policy.
The minor requires a total of 18 credit hours, including at least one course
within each of four areas of concentration. At least 12 of these credits must be
outside the primary major, and nine of these credits must be at or above the
3000-level. A three-hour, core course (either Phil 2330 Environmental Ethics or
Phil 2340 Natural Resource Ethics) is required of all students.
