Sustainability and Environmental Studies Program
Director: R. Olson
Faculty: J. Coomes and P. Smithson
Sustainability and Environmental Studies (SENS) is an interdisciplinary program that examines the basic question underlying the concept of sustainability: How can present human needs be met, without compromising the ability to meet future needs? Environmental, economic, social, spiritual, aesthetic, ethical, political, and technological dimensions of sustainability are explored with emphasis given to ecological design—the purposeful integration of human actions with the structures and functions of the natural world. The College does not offer a major in Sustainability and Environmental Studies; however, students interested in proposing an Independent Major in this area should consult with the SENS Director or faculty members.
