New Undergraduate Minor in Environmental and Sustainability
Studies
Understanding human-environment interactions and their connection
with ecological, societal, and economic processes at local, regional, and
global scales is a core competency in today’s world. The study of
sustainability bridges the arts and humanities, social sciences, and the
physical and life sciences. It complements traditional disciplines by offering
an opportunity for education in the area of coupled natural and human systems
that encompasses study of the environment, society, and economy. The minor,
awarded jointly by the College of Arts and Science and the School of Public and
Environmental Affairs, will be administered by the Integrated Program in the
Environment. Students who are interested in learning more about the minor may
contact academic advisor Carlin C. Schrag (cschrag@indiana.edu).
