Bachelor's in Environmental & Sustainability Studies

Environmental & Sustainability Studies is a Bachelor program taught at Victor Valley College, USA. Intake: Fall, Spring. The program is offered in campus-based modes with full-time (4 years) options.

The Environmental and Sustainability Studies (ESST) program helps students study environmental philosophy, sustainability leadership, justice and equity, systems thinking, and real-world sustainability challenges through a mix of theory and hands-on learning. Students explore foundational ideas and then move toward a culminating capstone class that applies their knowledge to environmental and sustainability issues.

Learning is organised across required introductory courses, a First Year Experience Camp, and a final-year capstone sustainability project completed in a community setting. Students can also join clubs, become teaching or research assistants, and connect with faculty about summer research. Co-op is available, and students may be able to enrol in a third year abroad option.
