Banner Code: CONS
The minor in applied conservation studies is designed for students who wish to augment their academic programs with conservation studies taught in an experiential manner. Grounded in natural science, these interdisciplinary courses combine public policy, sociology, conflict resolution, and global awareness. Students work with Smithsonian researchers and Mason faculty at the Smithsonian’s Conservation Research Center in Front Royal, VA – a facility that houses some of the world’s most endangered species.
