What is Sustainability Science?

Sustainability science meets present needs without compromising natural resources.

Students who earn a sustainability degree prepare for a future of preserving and protecting our environment for coming generations, combating climate change, advocating for laws and procedures to improve sustainability, and developing and implementing green technologies.

Kean sustainability science graduates are working in academia, government, biotechnology, health care, pharmaceuticals, media and other industries, preserving our planet and promoting environmental protection, social responsibility and profitability.
