The Bachelor of Sustainability (B.Sust.) degree is a four-year direct-entry interdisciplinary program blending practice, theory, and research methodology in participating concentrations. Students take a set of core integrative courses specific to sustainability along with a set of advanced courses in one of the concentrations:
- Environmental Analytics
- Environmental Conservation and Management
- Environmental Humanities
- Green Chemistry
The curriculum consists of 42 credits from core integrative courses, along with a minimum of 42 credits from concentration courses. Two core courses are Community Service Learning, which involves working with a community partner on a sustainability-related challenge or initiative. Remaining credits will be chosen from relevant elective courses in consultation with a program advisor to enable students to achieve the necessary breadth to become well-versed in sustainability matters on a local-to-global scale.
Students wishing to change concentrations may do so during the first or second year, but must notify their current concentration lead and consult with the concentration lead for the concentration they wish to transfer into the initiate the transfer.
