The minor in Regenerative Studies is a multidisciplinary program taught by faculty from all colleges on campus. It is designed for students majoring in all fields, including agriculture, architecture, art, business, education, engineering, humanities, landscape architecture, science, and urban and regional planning.
A minor in Regenerative Studies is a perfect complement to a bachelors of arts or science for students interested in pursuing careers in environmental fields. The courses allow students to explore regenerative theories and practices, and to develop the problem-solving skills to forge new solutions for society's problems.
Students pursuing the minor in Regenerative Studies are asked to complete the Minor Declaration Form and submit it to the Center's office. This form gives you access to advising resources within the program, and will allow you to be notified of upcoming course opportunities.
The minor requires a total of 24 units if you are graduating after Spring, 2007. This means that the minor requirements can be fulfilled in as few as six courses. Up to 12 units that apply towards the minor will also satisfy the University General Education Requirements.
