SUS 200 Introduction to Sustainability Studies

3 hours 

Meeting the global challenge of sustainability and environmental justice as we seek to preserve the human habitat requires students to draw on and integrate many fields of knowledge. This course will introduce students to such critical problems as climate change, environmental degradation, and socio-economic inequality and the unequal distribution of limited resources. As this is an inter-disciplinary course, some aspects of the course will vary depending on the expertise of the instructor, but will always focus on providing students with tools to understand and respond to these and other global problems.
