Sustainability Interdisciplinary Studies Minor
Designed by faculty in multiple disciplines, the 18-credit SIS Minor at La Roche provides students the opportunity to study the principles and engage in the practices of environmental justice. This minor crosses boundaries to show that sustainability and environmental justice are part of every discipline – from literature to sociology to interior design and beyond.
A minor in Sustainability Interdisciplinary Studies will provide experiences catering to students interested in issues of sustainability and their integration into each of their respective discipline and profession. This minor will focus on expanding awareness of environmental justice and sustainable development as well as community (local to global) and integrative thinking. It must be completed within the student's graduation timetable.
