This program prepares students to become leaders in the quest for a more environmentally, economically and socially sustainable society. Courses combine several disciplines ? natural sciences, economics, philosophy, sociology ? to study the complex relationships between humans and their environment. Students also learn by doing, with credit-bearing internships and paid co-op opportunities.
Choose from three tracks: public policy, education or supply-chain management. Whichever you select, you?ll study environmental issues from an interdisciplinary perspective. Courses stress critical thinking and collaborative problem-solving. Professors come from across the University, shedding light on all aspects of environmental studies: natural sciences, economics, social sciences, philosophy, history and literature. In each course, questions are framed in the context of social justice and with a broad understanding of the Catholic intellectual tradition.
