Addressing sustainability in our society poses complex challenges that require interdisciplinary solutions. Sustainability is frequently taught in silos within individual disciplines, and most often within individual and isolated courses. The goal of the Minor is to alter this pedagogy and teach sustainability both within and across disciplines. The Minor provides a path for students to study diverse aspects of sustainability from different disciplines and integrate them into a cohesive whole. The scope and definition of sustainability used for the Minor are guided jointly by the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals and the Association for the Advancement of Sustainability in Higher Education.
