Sustainability (Minor)

Do you want to live out your faith through holistic missions and the stewardship of Creation?

As a Sustainability minor, you’ll explore ideas and issues related to a sustainable, balanced, and ethical future for our planet and its inhabitants, integrating biblical principles with sustainable economic and environmental practices.

You may go on to a career in a sustainability field, pursue green entrepreneurship and startups, and or become an agent of change in your industry to protect the environment in an equitable and effective way.

Regardless of whether you want to work in education, business, non-profit or government sectors, you’ll find organizations in need of sustainability leaders and sustainability-minded thinkers. Taylor’s well-rounded Sustainability minor can be a strong complement to majoring in Finance, Marketing, Multimedia Journalism, Christian Ministries, Orphans and Vulnerable Children, Sociology, and Social Work.
