Sustainability in Academic

Through education and programming, we will provide students, faculty, staff and the community with the knowledge and skills to be environmentally responsible citizens who consider the effects of their actions and the actions of others around them.

While the following departments provide degree offerings directly related to sustainability, they are not the only places you'll find courses with sustainability themes. Sustainability is inherently interdisciplinary, so you will likely be able to take a class that has sustainability themes and sections in it, no matter your major or minor.

If you have questions about course offerings around sustainability reach out to your advisor or Andrew Ericson
