practices into all sectors, which requires that professionals throughout the workforce are conversant in sustainability science and can apply its principles to real-world problems. The minor in Sustainability grounds students with a foundational understanding of 1) how our environment works, 2) sustainability science, and 3) problem-solving in an interdisciplinary context. Spanning many fields, electives then encourage students to apply the principles of sustainability to their own disciplines, training them to apply sustainability practices in their future professions.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading751_1e6e7f-06,
