In order to fulfill the core course requirement for the minor, students must complete one course from two of the three category areas listed for the minor.

Environment - Equity - Economics

For example, one course from the list of core courses in the "equity" category and one course from the "economics" category. Students are not limited to taking only two core courses, and in fact are encouraged to take more than the minimum.

Courses listed as core in the SUDV minor are substantially dedicated to sustainability issues, knowledge, or applications. Core courses may integrate material across the three perspectives of social equity, economic development, and environmental protection, but most will still have a dominant emphasis on a particular perspective. They are grouped below, accordingly. Note that not all of these are offered every year.
