Sustainability Overview
Sustainability has grown from a niche field to an increasingly crucial discipline impacting all aspects of society. That’s why Chatham has developed four unique tracks within our Bachelor of Sustainability program: Sustainable Energy & Urban Systems, Natural Resource Management, Sustainable Business, and a Self-Designed track.
Our world is changing so fast. Problems we face – climate change, social injustice, biodiversity loss – are wickedly complex. But learning to understand them is a powerful way to understand the world. This degree will reveal the overlapping systems (ecology, economics, culture, politics) that drive society. At Eden Hall Campus you’ll get your hands dirty and come away with experience to face the future.
— Lou Leonard, JD, Dean, Falk School of Sustainability & Environment
