To ensure breadth of study, the major must include coursework in no fewer than three disciplines.

The minor in HAST consists of six (3 or 4 credit) courses; two foundation courses, three electives, and a practicum.

Foundation Courses

• PHIL 212 Humans and other Animals
• PHIL 213 Animal Ethics and Policy
• PHIL 211 Environmental Ethics

AND one of the following courses:

• BIOL 331 Ecology
• BIOL 340 Conservation Biology
• EVST 230 Biodiversity
• EVST 305 Ecology for Environmental Scientists
• BIOL 352 Animal Behavior
• PSYC 350 Evolutionary Psychology

Elective courses

Three elective courses; at least one from the Science and one from the Humanities; at least three disciplinary areas must be represented in the minor, and no elective may duplicate a foundational course.

Practicum

Students must complete a practicum (3-4 credits), ideally taken after the completion of other HAST coursework in the spirit of the capstone. The practicum may take the form of any experiential project involving animals that is overseen by Redlands faculty and approved by the advisory committee.
