BA/BS in Sustainability Studies

Sustainability Science and Society explores connections among global, social and natural systems. Students bring together technological, social and political views to address present-day needs such as healthcare, power, food, housing and travel without limiting future generations. The curriculum draws on tools from across the social sciences and emphasizes hands-on, interdisciplinary learning. Six minors are available to pair with the degree, and faculty-led study away programs are offered. Graduates are prepared to put sustainable practices into place for businesses and the public sector. Students study at Michigan Technological University in Houghton, Michigan, where undergraduate research, Enterprise project teams and campus activities extend learning beyond the classroom. Tuition, scholarships and admission requirements are published separately by the university. The university website lists advisors, course outlines and degree audits so that applicants can plan their studies in advance and compare options.
