Description
Sustainability has become a defining force shaping markets, organizations, and the global economy. The Sustainability Major prepares students to understand the scientific foundations of sustainability and to apply that understanding in business and organizational contexts. As environmental change, resource constraints, and regulatory pressures increasingly influence decision making, leaders across all sectors must be able to interpret scientific evidence and consider its implications for strategy and performance.
