Because environmental and social systems are interconnected, issues like climate change, pollution, sustainable development, ecosystem health, and racial and economic inequality can't be studied in isolation.
As a sustainability student at Willamette, you'll learn how to address large-scale problems using a wide range of tools and approaches. You can peer through a spotting scope to observe wildlife on campus, use a mass spectrometer to evaluate the water quality of local rivers or fly drones to map our forest property at Zena.
No matter which path you pursue, you'll emerge with a deep understanding of the challenges that face current and future generations. And you'll develop personal and professional values that will be a source of inspiration and strength throughout your career and life.
