Beginning in the fall of 2011, students at Southwestern College will have the option to pursue a Minor in Sustainability and Environmental Studies (SES). The SES Minor will be available and achievable by students in all major fields of study. "It is truly an interdisciplinary minor," states Associate Biology Professor Rick Cowlishaw. The SES Minor incorporates courses from Economics, Political Science, English, and Natural Science along with three newly created courses in Sustainability. The culmination of the minor will be a practicum course in sustainability where students will be required to plan and carryout a sustainability related project on the SC campus or in the Winfield community.
Southwestern College has as part of its mission to "strive to live by and teach sustainability." The new SES Minor will help SC in accomplishing its mission.
