SUST2201 Introduction to Sustainability
Addressing the challenge of using earth's resources sustainably requires a collaborative and interdisciplinary approach. This course introduces students to the basic concepts and tools that business, engineering, and the liberal arts (science, social science, and the humanities) bring to a consideration of sustainability. Students from Wellesley, Olin, and Babson Colleges engage in hands-on challenges to develop the cross-disciplinary awareness and collaboration skills needed to approach environmental issues holistically. This course meets the first requirement in the Sustainability Certificate Program (bow3colleges.org/sustainability-certificate) awarded by all three colleges. Four total credits may be used toward the 28 AHS/Entrp minimum distribution credit requirement if this course and
