Sustainability Studies minor
Students will discover ways to maximize the earth’s natural resources while simultaneously protecting them for use by future generations.
The Sustainability Studies Minor is an interdisciplinary minor offered through the Department of Biology and Environmental Science in conjunction with the departments of Business Administration and Economics, Chemistry and Physics, English, History, Philosophy, Political Science, and Sociology and Criminal Justice.
The minor allows students to learn more about human connections to our planet and engage in meaningful experiences related to the economic, social, and ecological concept of sustainability (meeting the needs of current generations without hindering future generations from meeting theirs).
The student will demonstrate a breadth of knowledge about sustainability by successfully completing an independent research project, internship, or service project that relates the environment to their discipline of interest.
