introduction to the interdisciplinary nature of environmental issues, the Minor in Environmental Science &amp; Policy (ES&amp;P) provides an equal balance of social, political, biological and earth systems science courses. This interdisciplinary foundation is unique in that it provides students training and experience across the sciences, and fosters a systems-thinking approach to environmental issues.<\/p>\n<p>Our field-oriented curriculum takes advantage of the unique environmental setting of our region and provides opportunities to work with local agencies. Southern Oregon, with its Klamath and Cascade Mountains and interior valleys, is an ideal location for studying and experiencing a variety of environmental issues, including water resources, endangered species, timber, natural hazards, and urban growth issues.<\/p>\n<p>The ES&amp;P Minor, similar to the Bachelor of Science degree, is flexible so students can build on their interdisciplinary training by focusing more on either earth systems science, biological sciences, social sciences, or environmental policy coursework.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<div
