The Minor with a Major Impact

Sustainability is dynamic, multidisciplinary field that deeply considers the interconnections between social, environmental, and economic systems and the care of the earth as our common home.

Working with the University of Dayton Hanley Sustainability Institute and community partners, students in the SEE minor have the opportunity to collaborate in the planning and implementation of sustainable solutions both on campus and in the Dayton area. Students in SEE classes have initiated several projects in sustainability education, waste reduction, campus energy uses, and community resilience and art.


Students earn the Sustainability Minor by completing 15 semester hours (five approved courses). Many of those courses fulfill CAP requirements. All students take SEE 250: Introduction to Sustainability. Remaining courses often emphasize learning across disciplines and project-based research.


As one of the largest minors on campus, we welcome students from all majors. We currently have students from biology, business, communication, dietetics, education, engineering, English, geology, history, philosophy, theatre, dance and performance technology, and art and design to name a few. Graduates have gone on to use what they have learned in a broad range of fields including communication, business, education, environmental biology, engineering, health sciences, and social work. It truly is the minor that can have a major impact on your future career.
