Program

Director: R. Olson
Professor: P. Smithson

The Sustainability and Environmental Studies (SENS) minor is a multidisciplinary program that examines environmental issues and their linkage to the basic question underlying the concept of sustainability: How can present needs be met, if at all, without compromising the ability to meet future needs? Various dimensions of environmental and sustainability issues are explored (e.g., economic, scientific, social, spiritual, aesthetic, ethical, political, technological) with emphasis given to the nature and implications of the interconnections among complex human and natural systems.
