Do you want to be equipped to steward God’s 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, Orphaned and Vulnerable Children, Sociology, and Social Work.
