A brief description of the undergraduate minor or concentration (2nd program):
Wentworth's undergraduate minor in sustainability is offered in collaboration with five other institutions through the Colleges of the Fenway (COF) Center for Sustainability and the Environment. The COF Minor in Sustainability is embedded in the international recognition that unsustainable pressures resulting from human activity threaten the natural systems on which human existence depends. These pressures often impact the most vulnerable members of society. The minor encourages students to explore connections between their specific career-directed studies to issues of the natural world, finite resources and social justice.
