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 provides students the opportunity 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). Students will demonstrate breadth of knowledge about sustainability with their successful completion of an independent research project, internship, or service project tying the environment with their discipline of interest.
Students will complete five courses plus an approved independent research project as follows:
|
One course from Ecology and Physical Science
One course from Ethics, Society and Culture
One course from Policy and Economics
One additional course chosen from courses above
Complete an approved supervised independent research project, campus- or community-based service project, or internship related to sustainability or the environment [must be equivalent of one course (4 credits) from department of faculty research advisor for the project and is expected to be numbered 398 (research) or 319 (internship)].
