A Solid Foundation
"The University, through its policies, programs and practices, is committed to diversity,
social justice and environmental sustainability" – Illinois Wesleyan University Mission Statement
Environmental Studies examines issues that arise from the interaction of human beings
with the natural world. Understanding these issues and meeting the challenges they
pose requires knowledge from diverse fields and new modes of thinking. At Illinois
Wesleyan University we ask our students to put their passion for sustainability to
work during their time here, so that they graduate empowered and prepared to make
a difference in the world. Our students gain a solid foundation in ecological principles,
earth science concepts and scientific causes of today's environmental challenges,
as well as the institutions - cultural, political, and economic - and ethical dimensions
through which to tackle them. |
