Description
The minor provides an opportunity for students in any academic major to develop key competencies that will be the foundation for their growth as sustainability leaders in their civic and professional endeavors. Coursework in Sustainability Leadership requires a core course in Environmental Problems and Policy that will provide students with a foundation for considering what "sustainability" means. Courses in communication, diverse perspectives and ethical issues, and the interconnectedness of systems build on that core.
