The Undergraduate Minor in Environment and Society introduces students to the intersecting fields of Environmental and Climate Science, Environmental Humanities (inclusive of Literature and the Visual Arts), Political Science, Sociology, History, and Women, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. Careers in Environmental Journalism, Environmental Consulting, Climate Change Mitigation, and Postsecondary Education in Environmental Humanities and Environmental Studies require interdisciplinary study across the Humanities, Geosciences, and Social Sciences. The expanding academic discipline of Environmental Humanities, which recognizes that our environmental dilemmas are fundamentally problems of ethics and political power, demands fluency in this expanding field of study.

Florida Atlantic will begin construction of a new seven-story residence hall on the Boca Raton campus in Spring 2025. The project will provide 674 additional student beds and will be located on the grassy area east of Parliament Hall. The residence hall is expected to be completed and ready for occupancy by Fall 2026.
Due to site constraints, the south portion of Parking Lot 28 (see photo) will be closed for the duration of the project to ensure campus safety and accommodate construction activities.
To address parking impacts, please note the following:
