The Water Resources minor is open to all undergraduates. It is designed to provide a broad background in water-related subjects which can complement a student's major field or generally fulfill an interest in water resources. As an interdisciplinary program, it is appropriate for students in many different majors, including all of the sciences and many of the social sciences. The minor emphasizes the physical aspects of water in its natural state, with options that include the chemical and biological aspects. For further information, advisement, and registration for this minor, come to the Earth Sciences Department Office, Science I, room 209.

NOTE: College rules pertaining to curriculum majors also apply to curriculum minors (GPA of at least 2.00 in courses applied toward minor; no Pass/Fail Option grading in courses applied toward minor; residence requirement; etc.)
