  • Sustainability Minor

    Students who seek this minor will become more educated about the environment, social equity and economic issues, and will be part of a cohort of empowered individuals who have the skills to collaborate for effective change. This minor is easily accessible to all Santa Clara University undergraduates as it incorporates existing classes from different schools. The sustainability minor allows students to integrate an understanding of sustainability into their course of study from different disciplinary perspectives and in interdisciplinary ways. The sustainability minor brings a new dimension to existing local, regional, and global SCU partnerships, both providing our students with sustainability-related learning opportunities and an opportunity to assist organizations to increase their commitment to sustainability.
