Minor in Sustainability

With globalization of the world's economies, continuing challenges with depletion of resources and increased global pollution, the well-being of society requires application of the principles of sustainability.  Sustainability requires that we consider short and long-term social, economic, and environmental impacts of our actions, products, and policies.

Pacific is introducing a new Minor in Sustainability beginning Fall 2009.  To earn a minor, a student must complete 20 units of coursework selected from among courses in Engineering, International Studies, Earth and Environmental Sciences, Economics, Philosophy, and Business.

The Minor in Sustainability is suggested for students who desire an understanding of sustainability or those who anticipate working for trans-national or development organizations.  The interdisciplinary Minor in Sustainability is open to students of all majors.

For details on the Minor in Sustainability or for more information please contact Dr. Camilla Saviz (csaviz@pacific.edu), 209-946-3077.
