Bachelor of Arts in Sustainability Studies. Sustainability is defined as the union of a healthy environment, a vital economy, and social equity (E3). Sustainability is an interdisciplinary concept that has become pre-eminent within twenty-first century global society. It concerns the attempt to understand how focusing on the growth of human society, rather than its development, threatens the future health and well-being of humans and the natural world in which we live. Most critically, it seeks whole picture solutions that advance not only human well-being, but also the health of the planet. The degree exposes the student to a broad diversity of academic disciplines that are pertinent to comprehending and creating solutions for the social and environmental challenges facing us currently and in the future. It seeks to couple the knowledge, skills, and values of these disciplines with practical, hands-on experiences outside of the classroom in order for the successful graduate to be able to effectively understand, live in, and work in a world that will be significantly different from the past in its pursuit of sustainable solutions.

We also offer a Business Emphasis in our Bachelor of Arts in Sustainability   program.
