Program Description

The minor in Animal Studies, administered by the Department of Environmental Studies, draws from courses in the humanities, social sciences, and natural sciences to provide students with a wide range of options—from sociology and anthropology to ethics, law, and policy, and from biology and environmental studies to art and literary studies. This minor can be combined with any major and will help students develop strengths in a variety of academic and professional fields. This minor affords students one of very few opportunities in the country to incorporate animal studies into a college degree.

Minor Declaration

To declare the Animal Studies minor, CAS students must visit this departmental website and fill out the form listed under the "Declaring a Major or Minor" section; non-CAS students must declare the minor through the "Application for Cross-School Minor" form found on the "Academics" tab in Albert. The "host school" for the minor is CAS, and the "home school" is the school in which one are matriculated as a full-time student. The minor declaration request will then be processed by your home school.
