Offered by the Sustainability Council
Sustainability Council: Pamela Anneser, Brian Eisenhauer, Suzanne Gaulocher, Abby Goode, Patrick May, Brigid O'Donnell, Laura Tilghman, Amy Villamagna.

Sustainability perspectives and practices are emerging as essential tools in the 21st century at local, national, and global scales. To prepare graduates from all fields to create and work in a more sustainable world, this interdisciplinary minor allows all students the opportunity to develop a solid mastery of the fundamental components of sustainability and its applications across multiple disciplines. Students are provided opportunities through course selection and capstone experiences to develop a focus that compliments the content of their major curriculum and provides them with skills to directly apply to their future professional and personal practices.

The program allows for student choice while maintaining a focus that ensures all students learn core sustainability concepts. A minimum of 15 credits must be completed toward the minor and no more than six credits in the minor can be double counted with a student’s major. Half of the credits towards the minor must be at the 3000 or 4000 level. Students interested in the minor are encouraged to contact a member of the Sustainability Council for assistance in planning their studies.
