Sustainability

Subject to prior approval, many students in any of USC's faculties may undertake a four-course minor or an eight-course major in Sustainability as part of their degree.

These study areas are designed for those seeking to make a difference and to become innovators in sustainability. USC has a strong research focus on sustainability with the establishment of the Sustainability Research Centre and defines sustainability as being "the enhancement of communities into the indefinite future without impinging on the value of natural systems".

Sustainability is achieved through promoting equity within and between generations, conservation of biodiversity and natural systems, and wise use of resources. Sustainability enhances the interdependency and resilience of economic, environmental and social systems.

Studying this major will greatly assist students who are interested in developing their innovation and adaptable problem-solving skills for a rapidly changing world.
