Environmental Sustainability is a field that focuses on how societies can meet the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. The Bachelor of Science in Environmental and Sustainability Studies program gives you both the knowledge and skills to address environmental and social crises. Complex issues, such as renewable energy, climate change, recycling and environmental security, require an interdisciplinary education that weaves together science and social science disciplines. Graduating from this program prepares you for a career in all levels of government and with non-governmental organizations and businesses.
