What is the Vermont Studies Minor?

The Vermont Studies minor is an interdisciplinary program that integrates Vermont-related courses taught throughout the University. Students can examine Vermont as a microcosm of the world at large through humanities, social sciences, the natural sciences, or the environment. Vermont studies minors generally take applied and experiential learning classes that give them hands-on experience in the "laboratory of Vermont."

Courses and faculty are found in Community Development, History, Natural Resources, Environmental Studies and Sciences, Political Science, Geography, Geology, Social Work, Sociology, Ecomomics, Communications, and Education.

Requirements

Vermont Studies faculty work closely with students to tailor the minor to students' interests and areas of study. Students may conduct independent readings and research courses to help complete the minor.
