Minor in Environmental and Scientific Literacy
In view of the rapid pace of scientific discovery and technological development, Minor in Environmental and Scientific Literacy will focus on the development of “science literacy” as a lifelong skill that can be applied to a variety of scientific and technological issues, rather than the mastery of content knowledge in a specific scientific discipline. All participants in this programme will build upon the critical thinking, communication, and debate skills developed in the core curriculum and participate in a Capstone Experience in Year 4.
Students are required to complete five courses (15 credits) to fulfill the requirements of this Minor.
