The Sustainability Studies program offers students a unique opportunity to develop expertise in science, business, and the social sciences. This interdisciplinary program enables students to become omnibus resources for government, private industry, and not-for-profit organizations to create and maintain sustainable operations. Students will develop the knowledge and the ability to synthesize the core ideas of sustainability and how they relate to the environment, culture, social equity, and economics. Sustainability Studies will produce students with significant strengths in applied problem-solving skills to develop a sustainable Earth.

The best of both worlds: the USF St. Petersburg campus provides many of the advantages of a large public university campus while maintaining the ability to offer small class sizes in a close-knit learning environment.
