The program will allow for the integration of various disciplines such as basic, natural, and social sciences, engineering, health, economics, governance and policy, and issues of diversity.

Our target student population for this program includes working professionals in for profit and non-for profit agencies and other settings that are focusing on sustainability and “green” issues; students who wish to learn problem solving skills and utilize critical thinking to advance sustainability in developed and developing nations; and students who wish to pursue policy change and perform advocacy functions to advance sustainability. This multidisciplinary degree will prepare students to be leaders in working as team members with sustainability scientists to enhance global sustainability. Employment data clearly show that there will be ever-increasing job opportunities across industry and other sectors for those with advanced degrees in sustainability.
