Sustainability
Minor
Empowering Agents of Change
Sustainability science focuses on the challenge of meeting human needs within ecological constraints. As a Sustainability minor, you’ll be exposed to ideas and issues related to a sustainable, balanced, and ethical future for our planet and its inhabitants, integrating biblical principles with sustainable economic and environmental practices.
This program is designed for students who want to live out their faith through holistic missions and the stewardship of Creation. You may go on to a career in a sustainability field, pursue green entrepreneurship and startups, and or become an agent of change in your industry to protect the environment in an equitable and effective way.
Responding to Growing Demands
No industry or sector is untouched by the growing demand for sustainability. Regardless of whether you want to work in education, business, non-profit or government sectors, you’ll find organizations in need of sustainability leaders and sustainability-minded thinkers. Taylor’s well-rounded Sustainability minor can be a strong complement to majoring in Finance, Marketing, Multimedia Journalism, Christian Ministries, Orphans and Vulnerable Children, Sociology, and Social Work.
