Living/Learning Center Interdisciplinary Minor in Environmental Studies Minor Coordinator: Darcy Lonsdale, Marine Science Research Center Office: 207 Endeavour Hall Phone: 632-8712 E-mail: dlonsdale@notes.cc.sunysb.edu About the Minor in Environmental Studies The Environmental Studies Living/ Learning Center, housed in Dreiser College offers a minor in environmental science (ENS) as well as activities that emphasize both scientific and social issues encompassed by the broad field of environmental studies. Through this program, motivated natural science and social science students are able to apply their majors specifically to the study of the environment. In addition, participation in the program adds an academic component to each student’s residential experience. The minor in environmental science is designed primarily, but not exclusively, for residents of Dreiser College and provides enhanced exposure to one subfield of environmental studies—the natural science of the environment.
