Community Health and Sustainability

Students who pursue a minor in Sustainable Community Development examine inequality and social transformation across local, regional, and global communities. They bring marginalized groups to the table, build dialogue, and collaborate across divides. Through applied sociological fieldwork and service learning, students gain real-world experience as agents of change. They advocate for the marginalized and serve as catalysts for change by confronting social inequality firsthand.
