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.
Tracks & Curriculum
Students can customize their experience by selecting one of four tracks: Sustainable Energy & Urban Systems, Natural Resource Management, Sustainable Business, or Self-Designed. Selection of a track isn't required until the second year. During their first year, students will explore career options and connect with professionals who can provide guidance in choosing the track that aligns with their goals.

Research at Eden Hall Farm
Chatham Sustainability students use Eden Hall Farm to conduct research on a variety of academic topics. Our community-led agroecosystems produce thousands of pounds of food for our campus cafeterias, culinary courses, community meals, and food pantries. Our impact reaches beyond Eden Hall, building research and educational projects with farmers, seed keepers, and other regional food system practitioners.
