Sustainability Minor - Earth, Environmental and Geographical Sciences

Do you want to work collaboratively to address sustainability challenges? If so, then consider adding a minor in Sustainability. Defined broadly, sustainable development is about meeting the needs of the present without sacrificing future generations’ ability to do so. Focusing our attention on sustainability may be our best approach to ensuring a lasting quality of life on Earth. Focused on the intersection of environment, equity and economy, this minor will equip you with the knowledge and skill sets to work collaboratively to implement sustainable solutions to environmental problems.
