Bachelor of Arts Sustainability Studies and the Environment

Sustainability isn’t just a corporate buzzword. At its core lies a deep concern for those who will come after us. Sustainability means stewardship of our natural resources combined with social transformation and market innovation so that we can meet the needs of future generations without exceeding our planetary boundaries.

As a student in our Sustainability Studies and the Environment program, you will focus on the three E’s of sustainability:

• Environment
• Equity
• Economy

Your coursework, grounded in the liberal arts, will offer an interdisciplinary, holistic education. You’ll gain the knowledge you need to understand the challenges that face us and the skills to develop and communicate solutions.

A Sustainability Studies major or minor can be combined with other academic programs, from biology to business. Students engage in experiential learning, create an internship portfolio and pursue research in their area of special interest. Program graduates will be well-prepared for roles in the government agencies, corporations and non-profit organizations that are shaping our future. The principles of sustainable development are key to the success of companies and communities and they’ll need your leadership.
