Students who minor in Environmental Studies at NMU are trained and educated to observe, measure and influence how people interact with Earth’s natural and cultural environments. Such observations and measurements yield knowledge that will help us to better understand our changing world and to ensure its sustainability through the implementation of holistic solutions. This environmental awareness subsequently improves the performance of business, planning, law, management, education, communication, public affairs, and other professions as they deal with environmental challenges.
