Overview

While most Sustainability programs focus on natural resources or technology, Minnesota State University Moorhead is one of very few universities in the country to focus on the entire spectrum of sustainability. The focus on sustainability in our society crosses all disciplines with the shared goal of preserving and promoting a healthy planet. MSUM’s sustainability degree will prepare you to understand the challenges and opportunities in a growing green economy.
