The?Sustainability Studies major explores the relationship between humans and the environment through an interdisciplinary curriculum. This Alaska-based program encourages you to explore Alaska?s cultural and ecological diversity and directly experience the strong connections between the landscape and its communities. Focusing on the ?triple bottomline? of sustainability, students draw together studies addressing people, the planet, and the economy.

Alaska is positioned on the cusp of great change and great challenges within its terrestrial, marine, and atmospheric environments. Opportunities abound for those who can work across disciplines to study, publicize, manage, and/or predict these challenges. This major is specifically designed for exceptional students who are interested in addressing today?s multidisciplinary, environmental challenges.
