Why Sustainability Sciences?

The Sustainability Sciences (Coastal System Dynamics) Bachelor of Science program is a multi-disciplinary science degree aimed at addressing resilience and sustainability of coastal zones as a combination of human and ecological systems. The degree is built from ecology, geography, statistics and mathematics, field methods, and electives courses in resources, human wellbeing, and environment and society.

What Will I Learn?

Leveraging 欧美AV鈥檚 coastal location, expertise, and community partnerships, students will learn about the physical aspects of sustainability with a holistic inclusion of the human element as a well-rounded multi-disciplinary scientist. Coastal System Dynamics (CSD) majors will also earn a certificate or minor in a field of their choice. Students in CSD will complete a capstone practicum that shows applied research in coastal system dynamics, as, for example, on the barrier islands, port interactions, beach erosion, urban planning, infrastructure, fishing, aquaculture, hurricane preparedness, and the like.
