The Minor in Environmental Studies and Sustainability (ESS) provides students with interdisciplinary training to enable engagement with some of the most pressing social, ecological, and technological challenges of the 21st century. The Minor is designed to complement the education that comprises a Major course of study and to enable all academic programs to add an ESS component. Several departments at NJIT deliver courses that contribute to the ESS Minor. The ESS Minor offers students interested in environmental studies and sustainability with a centralized advising destination.
Requirements
The ESS Minor entails successful completion of five approved courses (15 credits) at the 300-level or higher. Students enrolling in the ESS minor are expected to have a GPA of at least 3.0. Course substitutions can be made only with the approval of the Coordinator of the ESS Minor.
Customized course sequences have been developed for students in specific degree programs (see below). Other Majors can formulate a program of study in collaboration with the Coordinator of the ESS Minor.
