They can envision solutions that support the health of both ecosystems and human communities. This skillset can be applied to work in any profession and will be increasingly sought after by employers in every sector.; Students who graduate with the Sustainability double degree will be able to integrate knowledge from their major with concepts and practices of sustainability. They will communicate effectively with multiple audiences, work collaboratively with multiple and conflicting interests, and apply content-level knowledge of economic, business, scientific, and sociological principles of sustainability to an ongoing practice of sustainable thinking and action.; Sustainability double degree students complete seven core courses, several electives, and a minimum of 3 credits of experiential learning. Experiential learning opportunities include internships, research, study abroad, service learning, and work towards earning a sustainability credential from a professional organization.

Sustainability graduates go on to improve the environmental and social outcomes of work performed by federal, state, and local agencies, non-profits, and businesses.
