Sustainability
This program is targeted to all students within the university community in the hopes of preparing leaders for the 21st century who understand the interaction of social, economic, and environmental factors and the need for a systems view of that interaction so as to make decisions which contribute to the healthy viability of cultures, ecologies, and economics.
