Banner Code: CONS
The minor in applied conservation studies is designed for undergraduate students who wish to augment their main academic program with conservation studies taught in an experiential manner. Grounded in natural science, the collection of five interdisciplinary courses combine public policy, sociology, conflict resolution, and global awareness. Students work with Mason faculty and researchers from the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute.
The minor is available only to students who enroll in the Smithsonian Mason Semester, a semester-long residential program held at the Smithsonian Conservation Biology Institute in Front Royal, VA. The Semester is offered jointly by New Century College in the College of Humanities and Social Sciences and the Department of Environmental Science and Policy in the College of Science under the auspices of the Mason Center for Conservation Studies.
