If you dream of leading the world to a better and brighter future, one with more focus on viable and renewable sources of energy and environmental and economic stability, then you'll want to join a vibrant community of like-minded students tackling the world's grand challenges at the nation's first School of Sustainability.

Program Description

Students in ASU's College of Global Futures are rethinking and reinventing the future of a world at risk. The school's programs encourage experiential learning, study abroad, research with faculty, community engagement and leadership development. The knowledge and solutions that are created today will shape the social and environmental quality of life for future generations.

The School of Sustainability offers two degrees in sustainability: a BA and a BS. Both programs introduce students to the concept of sustainability in the context of real-world challenges and focus on developing practical solutions and interventions to some of the most pressing environmental, economic and social challenges of sustainability. Students learn to approach challenges with consideration of complex adaptive systems and resilience, interconnections and cascading effects across scales, management of trade-offs, ethics and values, stakeholder engagement, future visioning and scenario typologies for transitioning systems, and other cutting-edge frameworks.

Career Opportunities

Those with a Bachelor of Science in sustainability offer employers and graduate programs an integrated approach to developing solutions to sustainability challenges. They understand the complexity of systems, have engaged in a range of knowledge and experience from different disciplinary perspectives, and understand the importance of planning for the future and how to engage stakeholders in that process. Graduates of the program are adaptable and prepared for a changing world.
