Environmental Writing Minor

Students minoring in Environmental Writing take at least two courses outside the English Department that deepen their understanding of the natural environment or of environmental issues. One course must come from the Environmental Science Department, and we strongly recommend ENVSC 110 - Introduction to Environmental Science.

“ Nearly every Allegheny class I took impacted the way I think and helped me become the person I am today. I distinctly remember my world view begin to expand in my freshman year environmental science class. Lithography and Geology both deepened the way I thought about poetry in surprising ways. Statistics made me change the way I think about myself and what I’m capable of intellectually. To name just a few. ”
