Sustainability, BS

Students in ASU’s School of Sustainability are reinventing the future of a world at risk. Students gain career preparation through experiential learning, study abroad, research with faculty, community engagement and leadership development. Sustainability graduates are transforming social and environmental quality of life for current and future generations.

The School of Sustainability offers both a Bachelor of Arts and a Bachelor of Science program in sustainability. Students focus on developing practical solutions to some of the most pressing environmental, economic and social challenges of sustainability, honing their skills in resilience and systems thinking. They learn to manage trade-offs, engage with diverse stakeholders, utilize future visioning tools, and assess the ethics and values associated with different solution pathways.

The BS program is geared toward students interested in the more quantitative aspects of sustainability, such as those related to energy and materials, economics, and ecology and environmental science.
