Name of the sustainability-focused undergraduate minor or concentration:
Minor in Sustainability Studies
A brief description of the undergraduate minor or concentration:
If you dig deep enough into any environmental issue, you’ll understand that it’s multifaceted by definition. For example, at face value, recycling is about converting waste, but its larger aim is to address the complex problems associated with pollution, loss of habitat and biodiversity and declining human health, to name a few. Through this one simple example, it is evident that biology and ecology are connected to global social, political, and philosophical issues around how people live and how they consume.
Explore the concept and practice of sustainability through a selection of hand-picked courses in the social sciences, sciences, and humanities. As a member of the Loyola College for Diversity and Sustainability, you’ll be working alongside other students from across the university with the goal of communicating across disciplines and becoming agents of positive environmental change.
