The Evolutionary Studies minor can now be taken online during the summer!

Few scientific theories compare with evolution as a framework for asking and answering big questions about the nature of life. The 18-credit interdisciplinary minor in evolutionary studies (EvoS) encourages students to develop a deep and broad understanding of evolution and its implications for being human. EvoS students take several courses focusing on applications of evolution to human affairs. Further, all EvoS minors complete the Evolutionary Studies Seminar course which includes invited scholars addressing applications of evolutionary principles across several areas. 

Opportunities for research that address questions rooted in evolutionary principles are offered in several departments, such as anthropology, biology, English and psychology.

EvoS is glad to be collaborating with Robb Wolf on a Paleo-oriented Nutrition Certification Program, directed by Robb.

Per the posting on Robb's blog, note that the 18 credit EvoS program (comprised of undergraduate courses) offered at SUNY New Paltz will serve as a foundation of the certification program. This can be completed across two summers (or possibly sooner, depending on potential transfer credits). Or a student could take longer, depending on his or her situation, number of courses taken per summer, etc.
