Name of the sustainability-focused undergraduate minor or concentration:
Concentration in Sustainability Studies
A brief description of the undergraduate minor or concentration:
Sustainability Studies is an interdisciplinary concentration that draws from various disciplines to present students with the tools needed to become twenty-first-century leaders in sustainability. To advance climate justice, students must center the needs of marginalized communities and understand the complex, systemic injustices that have led us to this point: exploitation of the working poor, strain on healthcare institutions, mistreatment of women, anthropogenic mass extinctions, environmental degradation, extractive economic models and racialized disparities in access to clean air, uncontaminated drinking water, green spaces and a healthy diet. This concentration is founded on the notion that climate justice intersects with racial, social and economic justice. Aligning its curriculum with internationally accepted standards for sustainable practices, the Sustainability Studies concentration will build networks for students, help them develop solutions to emerging and pressing problems, and imagine a better future for humanity.
