Sustainability Studies faculty members Drs. Susan Comfort (English), Tamara Whited (History), and Susan Zimny (Psychology)
The Sustainability Studies minor is an interdisciplinary program that draws from expertise across the university. Here is more information about the courses that meet our program requirements
The minor can supplement all majors in the university. Career possibilities include positions in design, law, food industries, planning and architecture, education, building certification, renewable energy, and waste management.
The 18-credit minor includes one required class: SUST 201, to be offered for the first time in spring 2016.
This program is designed to address the challenges of sustainability through interdisciplinary coursework in three areas:
- Ethics, culture, and society
- Natural sciences and environmental stewardship
- Environmental policy, economics, and law
Students will also work with a mentor to complete the minor with a capstone experience that puts theory into action.
