Liberal Education Environmental Requirements
The University of Minnesota’s liberal education requirements includes the environment as one of four designated themes focusing on issues that are important to the University, the nation, and the world. The theme states: “Knowledge of the interaction and interdependence of the biophysical systems of the natural environment and human and social cultural systems.” Students entering the University since the fall 1994-95 academic year are required to take at least one course that satisfies the environment theme. Currently, 108 Twin Cities campus courses fulfill this requirement. This gives faculty from all across the University the opportunity to teach environmental literacy and provides many options for students to learn about the environment.
