Water connects society and the environment through energy, food, climate, ecological, health, and economic systems and is therefore vital for sustaining human life. Issues such as drought, flooding, sanitation, and contamination exist on every continent and touch every citizen on the planet. Sustainably managing water resources is a complex challenge that requires knowledge from a wide range of academic disciplines. The Blue Planet minor is an interdisciplinary program that includes courses from ten departments across Virginia Tech, ensuring that students gain the necessary perspective required to solve the myriad of water problems being confronted by diverse societies.

The interdisciplinary approach used by the minor helps students gain exposure to the technical, societal, and political systems concerning water and sustainability. Students enrolled in the Blue Planet minor will be able to take courses in forest resources and environmental conservation, geography, agricultural and applied economics, landscape architecture, history, environmental science, geosciences, mathematics, English, and urban affairs and planning. Select courses from these departments show students the interconnectedness of water policy, planning, science, and sustainability and orients them to a diversity of perspectives for solving water issues.

A holistic view of how the ocean functions, how human interactions with the ocean can be understood, and what solutions are available to support both sustainable use and stewardship of our blue planet.

The mission of the Oceans Department is to Discover, Educate, and Innovate to support a Known, Sustainable, and Equitable Ocean. Faculty, postdocs, students and staff advance ocean research, education, and impact through interdisciplinary collaboration, technology development, use-inspired research, immersive education and training. To advance exploration and knowledge of our blue planet, and tackle the most pressing challenges in climate and sustainability, the Oceans Department brings together ocean science (including biological, physical, and social sciences), technology, and solutions into an academic unit focused on ocean discovery and solutions.

Current events are an essential part of the environmental science course. Truly, the crux of the class is to gain a better understanding of how we currently interact with the environment. However, finding articles that are relevant, objective, and comprehensive can be a very challenging task. This is particularly true for students who are apt to simply pick the first result on a Google search, or find the shortest article possible.

Students majoring in the environmental studies field have a broad range of professional opportunities available to them after graduation, including life, physical, and social sciences occupations which have a median annual wage of $72, 740.

Our six-course minor in environmental studies allows students to enhance their understanding of complex environmental issues. Students may enroll in an environmental studies minor to simply explore the field of natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities or to strengthen their career in an environmental field.

To meet your needs, we offer a wide range of courses in environmental studies that spans numerous environmental issues affecting our planet. Our comprehensive curriculum provides in-depth analyses on our changing world through the added lens of race, gender, and culture.

Within our environmental studies department, students experience an interdisciplinary education through hands-on research, study abroad opportunities, student-led organizations, and a meaningful curriculum that prepares them for graduate study or a career in the non-profit sector, the corporate world, or government. 2351a5e196
