Monmouth University offers a minor focused on the interdisciplinary problems that impact and challenge future human and non-human prospects into the future. This area of study is rooted in both ancient traditions (like Indigenous perspectives) and new and developing science that shed light on urgent questions of our time. This minor provides a directed focus on these threats across multiple fields of study with multiple, critical perspectives. This minor has recently been updated and made more accessible to all students interested in these broad, global problems and their potential remedies. The minor provides both empirical and theoretical insight so as to allow a holistic and informed literacy in global sustainability. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Global Sustainability minor provides a flexible and unique opportunity for students from any discipline and any major to participate and engage with complex systems, global ethical dilemmas, international politics, and\u00a0changes to biological and geophysical planetary systems. This minor is one of several developments at Monmouth University that relates to environmental and sustainability studies that are increasingly relevant to our communities from the Jersey Shore to intercontinental earth processes that address the current pulse of extinctions, climate change, massive plastic pollution, and other major problems. You are invited to contact the Dean’s office in the School of Science care of Koorleen Minton (kminton@monmouth.edu<\/a>), or Professor Peter Jacques (pjacques@monmouth.edu<\/a>), who coordinates the minor, with any questions you may have.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n Program Requirements<\/p>\n\n\n\n Requirements: (6 credits) Electives (9 credits):<\/strong> Monmouth University offers a minor focused on the interdisciplinary problems that impact and challenge future human and non-human prospects into the future.
