The minor degree is in conjunction with SUNY Canton. It permits SUNY Potsdam students to earn an Environmental Technology minor degree by cross registering for courses at SUNY Canton. The Environmental Technology Minor would be granted at SUNY Potsdam (to SUNY Potsdam students) and would require coursework in the Geology Department at SUNY Potsdam and in the Canino School of Engineering at SUNY Canton. The minor is open to all SUNY Potsdam students and requires 18 credits in core courses plus 12 credits in prerequisite courses. Only seven credits of overlap between the Environmental Technology minor and the Geology major are permitted (GEOL 103  and GEOL 410 ). Interested students should contact Dr. Michael Rygel at rygelmc@potsdam.edu or (315) 267-3401.
