Description

The Environment, Economy, Development and Sustainability (EEDS) major is a multi-disciplinary degree program that focuses on the human dimensions of sustainability. This cutting-edge major provides the core knowledge and skills students need to launch a career in sustainability in the private, public or non-profit sectors. Sustainability is a rapidly growing area that requires knowledge of human and natural systems and the skills to manage change, think holistically, and assess sustainable development in a variety of settings. Sustainability is not just a specialization. It is becoming an important competency in many types of jobs. The goal of the EEDS major is to provide students with rigorous coursework and training in sustainability to prepare them for the career path they choose. EEDS gives students that have a passion and a purpose the tools they seek to become agents of change.
