The first sustainability bachelor’s degree in the Chicago area, this program prepares graduates to tackle the sustainability problems of the 21st century. Using insights and analytic methods from science, policy and environmental justice, students explore natural and social ecosystems, identify national and international implications of sustainability issues, and apply their knowledge on behalf of campus and community projects.
Sustainability majors can also participate in the leading to a BA in Sustainability and a Master of Public Administration degree. The program allows students to take three graduate-level courses as part of their undergraduate degrees. Once students are admitted to the MPA, the courses will apply toward completion of the MPA degree.
