Environmental Studies Minor Program Coordinator: Dr. Alice Mulder Location: SS 302 Telephone: 801-626-6198 The Environmental Studies Minor is an interdisciplinary degree that focuses on the work of science in human activity. The curriculum is rooted in science to ground factual knowledge. However, its trunk is solidly comprised of social science and humanities courses because they teach the application of science in policy-making, business decisions and historical precedent even as they call upon the arts for their expression and upon ethics in consideration of health and social justice issues. The minor reaches across campus because all disciplines play an essential role in shaping environmental thought. Students will gain an appreciation for local, national and international environmental issues and problems as well as their potential solutions. They will develop a personal philosophy about the environment's role in their lives and their own ability to affect nature and their physical environment by making ethical choices. • Grade Requ i re m ents: A grade o f" C" o r bette r is required for all courses. • Credit Hour Requirements: A minimum of 25 credit hours is required, at least 15 of these must be upper division (numbered 3000 or higher). Students must select courses from outside their major academic department whenever a choice is offered. Students are encouraged to consider diversity in curriculum selection. Ethnic Studies Program Coordinator: Dr. Hal Elliott Location: Social Science Building, Room 316 Telephone: 801-626-6945 The Ethnic Studies Emphasis at WSU examines the construction and context of ethnicity in the United States with a primary focus on Americans of African, Asian, Latino, and Native American descent. Other ethnic foci may be developed by the student to meet his or her particular interests. As an element of American identity that cuts across disciplinary categories, ethnicity requires a mode of study that draws on the humanities, the social sciences, and other related fields. Ethnicity also must be addressed historically and comparatively, paying attention to the five centuries of North American minority experience and the perspectives of other New World societies and cultures. Above all, the program seeks to convey knowledge and understanding of ethnicity in the United States and to help students learn about the opportunities and responsibilities they have as citizens in an increasingly multicultural nation. • Grade Requirements: A grade of "C-" or better is required for all courses in Ethnic Studies. • Credit Hour Requirements: A minimum of 18 credit hours.
