Description
The minor in Sustainability [18 credits] will allow students to connect an interdisciplinary suite of courses along a single thread and a common language. Students will explore the challenges of sustainability (climate change, food availability, social justice, pollution, social equity, natural resource depletion, etc) and consider a myriad of ways to innovate and create effective solutions through systems-thinking and interdisciplinary design. This is achieved by having the students complete courses that span the breadth of topics related to sustainability and rely on our diverse faculty expertise. Sustainability is meeting the needs of today without compromising the needs of the future, and there are four different “pillars”: • Environmental: Ensure that natural resources are protected, ecosystems remain healthy, and minimize harm to the environment. • Social: Promote healthy, resilient, and equitable communities that meet all basic human needs (ex: access to healthcare, education, a safe & inclusive environment, and a fair wage) • Economic: Create systems and business practices that support long-term financial stability, a fair distribution of wealth, and efficient use of resources. • Cultural: Ensure that future generations can enjoy a diversity of cultural traditions, languages, locations, arts, and practices.
