Go Green with ASU

I guess I'm a little bias to Arizona State University because I am a current student but we are on the cutting edge of the green revolution. There are many undergraduate degree programs offered which can get you started with a career in the environmental field offered by ASU

Sustainability- A newly established undergraduate degree from The School of Sustainability can be a Bachelor of Arts or Bachelor of Science. This is an interdisciplinary degree and many topics of sustainability are covered- economics, sociology, anthropology, biology, hydrology, and chemistry. ASU is one of the first schools to offer undergraduate and graduate degrees in Sustainability. A concentration in Sustainability is only offered for W.P. Carey School of Business Students.

Engineering- ASU also offers an undergraduate degree in Civil, Environmental, and Sustainable engineering for those students interested in the development aspect of sustainability. Civil engineering focuses on the scientific and mathematical skills to approaching and developing sustainable machines, buildings, and communities. Students in Civil Engineering have to option to have a concentration in environmental, sustainability, or construction engineering.

Justice Studies- Within the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences is the School of Justice and Social Transformation where you can major in Justice Studies. One of the five areas of concentration for Justice Studies majors is Globalization, Sustainability, and Economic Justice. Taking this types of classes you will learn how the green revolution affects the entire world and how international organizations funds these projects. Check back soon for a spotlight blog on this degree program because this is my major!

Geographical Sciences and Urban Planning- There are major undergraduate degrees an ASU student can achieve from the School of Geographical Sciences and Urban Planning such as Environmental and Landscape Dynamics, Urban and Regional Geography, and Urban Planning. In these majors, students will learn about how the earth is physically affected by population growth, urban growth, and natural resources deprivation. This major take a very physical approach to understand the consequences if our world does not adapt a more sustainable lifestyle.

Overall, these degree programs are just a few options at Arizona State University. There are other programs and other schools that can provide students an undergraduate degree relating to the green revolution. It is apparent going green can be approached from many directions- business, justice, engineering, and urban planning. If you a high school student or even a freshman or sophomore in college looking to change your major, consider a green degree program from ASU!
