Global Sustainability Concentration
The Global Sustainability concentration prepares students to tackle pressing global issues and their implications for the environment. Students learn to problem-solve 21st century topics that transcend geographical borders (i.e., food, water, transportation, energy) and become future thought leaders. Complementing the program’s core curricular content are courses drawn from adjacent majors including environmental studies, political science, and sociology.
