Bacharelado em Justiça Social e Sustentabilidade

Learn to develop long-lasting solutions to local and global challenges by understanding the connections between social equity, environmental stewardship and economic well-being.

This Pathway brings together social justice and sustainability. Social justice is necessary to sustain institutions, societies and our planet over the long term. The sustainability framework develops long-lasting solutions to local and global challenges by understanding the connections among social equity, environmental stewardship and economic well-being and including these in decision-making and planning processes.

Over three years in this Pathway, students craft new approaches to a more sustainable world for the benefit of all, as they become increasingly aware of how asymmetries of power and privilege operate on a daily basis. Students, staff and faculty become active agents in transforming our world through critical and collective citizenship.

Rigorous academic standards, innovative and engaging faculty members, and a diverse classroom curriculum challenge students to reach their full intellectual potential. The College expects students to learn outside the classroom as well, through such activities as research, travel, and internships. The College facilitates those opportunities in the belief that a diversity of experiences is essential for genuine academic excellence. The College also expects and strongly supports faculty scholarship, research, and creative work that advances human knowledge and expression and informs excellent teaching.

In the early 20th century, Connecticut College was founded in the belief that all qualified students - women as well as men - deserve an opportunity to secure an education. The College strives to be a community in which all members feel comfortable, respect each other's differences, and seek common ground. The College promotes understanding by offering a variety of academic and social experiences and is committed to building greater access, opportunity, and equity. Students, faculty, staff, trustees, and alumni all participate in the governance of the College.
