- Observation.
- Problem formulation.
- Data collection.
- Critical analysis.
- Applying field skills and theory to assess real-world problems.
A minor in natural history provides students with a concentration of knowledge and skills through experiential, field-based coursework, internship opportunities and a capstone experience.
