The Sustainability Studies undergraduate program is an area of study focusing on providing for the needs of today’s society, while ensuring that the needs of future generations can also be met.

Sustainability is a multidisciplinary field of study that provides students not only with a strong scientific background in the environmental sciences, but with extensive understanding of other fields necessary for implementing sustainable practices, such as food science, economics, sociology, and communications. Graduates emerge from the program equipped for careers in both the public sector and private industry.
