Greening the Classrooms

A handful of courses hosted across the disciplines over the past decade have focused on sustainability topics. These include:

Environmental Philosophy (PHL 300)

The Ecology of Urban Systems (HC 208)

Sustainability Science (HC 208)

Permaculture (BIO 481)

Integrating Beekeeping Across the Curriculum (EST 643)

Imaging a Shattering World: Art, Public Health, and the Environmental Debate (HC 201)

The Environmental Science Program is administered by the College of Arts and Sciences. The program offers a Bachelor of Science major, minor, and concentration in Environmental Science, with further specializations available in Occupational Health and Safety, Public Health, Environmental and Resource Management, and Toxic Substance Control.

The Energy Management Certificate Program is administered jointly by the School of Computer Science and Engineering and School of Business Administration. It provides engineering and business professionals with coursework focused on reducing energy costs, boosting bottom line performance, commercializing new technology, and conducting industrial energy audits. The curriculum integrates business and engineering concepts, which differentiates the certificate from other energy management programs that tend to focus on either management or engineering, but not both.
