Spatial & Quantitative Methods in Natural Resources & Environmental Sciences Minor
for the Undergraduate Minor in Spatial and Quantitative Methods in Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences
The Spatial and Quantitative Methods in Natural Resources and Environmental Sciences minor is ideal for students in NRES and allied fields seeking preparation for careers requiring sills in geographic information systems, statistics, research design, and/or mathematical modeling. This minor is open to students in all majors and is especially relevant for those pursuing a major related to natural resource and environmental issues who want to distinguish themselves with more advanced analytical skills. In order to be eligible to declare this minor, a student must have successfully completed:
- MATH 220, 221 or 234
- CPSC 241, ECON 202, PSYC 235, SOC 280 or STAT 100
The minor requires the completion of an additional 18 hours of coursework selected from the list. Students must earn credit for at least three hours in each of the three categories. At least six hours of 400-level courses must be distinct from any credit earned for the student’s major, concentration, and any other minor.
