Human Ecology and Sustainable Development Minor

A minority of Unity College students arrive with, or soon develop, an interest in human ecological sustainability, including sustainable economic systems, sustainable agriculture, and sustainable technology.  Generally these are secondary interests to the student’s more specific career goal and major.  This program provides a qualification in sustainable development and human ecology to students who wish to work in non-profit and government sustainable development and aid programs or who are simply interested in the topic.

BI 3464 Advanced Ecology
