Sustainable Development majors build a foundational understanding of how the spheres of sustainability—environment, economics, and society—impact each other. Studying the breadth of these subjects allows students to develop a holistic understanding of key issues facing humanity and the environment. This understanding drives efforts to meet current sustainability needs with solutions that don’t sacrifice the future.
Courses in environmental science, sociology, public health, and economics form a foundation for advanced Sustainable Development classes. To build your experience, faculty will encourage you to develop and conduct your own field-based research in Taylor’s 145-acre arboretum.
After learning core sustainable development principles such as environmental law, global health, geospatial analysis, microeconomics, ecology, geology, and cultural anthropology, each student chooses one of the following concentrations to focus on a specific environmental field:
