Description
Sustainable living is a necessity if humans intend to avoid extinction. This program provides a comprehensive academic curriculum for people who want to become informed decision-makers and participate in the transformation toward a sustainable society. These decisions must be based on an understanding of the three pillars of sustainability: ecology, economics and social-political aspects. This multidisciplinary major provides a core of required science and sustainability courses with two tracks: (1) Ecology and Natural Resources; (2) Economics, Green Business, Policy, and Law. Environmental research or internship is a unique feature of the program and is included in all tracks. The program prepares students for endless career opportunities in government or private sector jobs as environmental scientist, engineer, or manager, or for pursuing research in graduate studies so they can participate in the global revolution toward sustainable living on the earth.
