Sustainability A.S. (Plan 11AB - SUS)
Program Overview

Award Type
Catalog Description
The field of sustainability is holistically based among the three spheres of Ecology, Economy, and Equity. Sustainability programs and jobs are wide-ranging and can examine environmental issues, energy systems, food production, and intersectional topics within social justice. Through coursework in the life and physical sciences, economic and business principles, and social sciences, students will form a broad knowledge base on which to address applications of sustainability.
The following courses are recommended for students who have not decided upon a specific four-year college or university. Once a transfer school is selected, students are strongly encouraged to meet with an Academic Success Advisor to determine courses at CLC which will also meet the transfer requirements. To complete any transfer degree, students should follow the college requirements for associate degrees that transfer.
All course prerequisites must be met. Additionally, students are required to select one course from the International/Multicultural list to meet graduation requirements. A grade of C or better is required for all English course requirements.
