Environmental Studies

Minoring in Environmental Studies at Ringling College

In the face of global environmental crises, the integration of art, design, and environmental studies is more crucial than ever.

The urgency of environmental issues, from climate change to biodiversity loss, necessitates a comprehensive understanding of the interconnections between natural systems and human societies. The minor in Environmental Studies equips students with this understanding, fostering a generation of leaders, innovators, and informed citizen-artists capable of contributing to sustainable solutions. It blends creative practices with environmental science and policy and prepares students to use their artistic skills to raise awareness, advocate for change, and contribute to sustainable solutions. By marrying the power of visual communication and design with a deep understanding of environmental issues, students are uniquely positioned to impact the world around them.
