Environmental, Sustainability 和 Resilience Studies
There are increasingly complex environmental 和 societal changes impacting our world today. The transformation of our environment requires well-rounded leaders with a new skill set to not only underst和 the natural 和 physical sciences but also to manage the human impact on the environment. These ch所有enges are what drive the Environmental, Sustainability 和 Resilience Studies minor coursework at KWU. By integrating these 两个 areas in the Department of Behavioral Science 和 人类服务 和 the Department of Biology, students discover a deeper relationship among humans,ir communities 和 the planetary life systems to which we belong. In our unique program, that combines sustainability, ecology, community 和 社会行动, we will work to develop the skills to translate words into action, leading the critical changes for our collective future.
环境, Sustainability 和 Resilience Studies coursework can help take you to positions in sustainable energy, wildlife management 和 more! For more information, please contact Dr. 斯蒂芬妮翻滚, chair of the Department of Biology.
