IDST 2050 Sustainability
An interdisciplinary course across colleges and departments presenting an introduction to the
principles of sustainability, including ethics, economics, ecology, environmental policy, and
personal involvement. Students will conduct real world analyses using campus and community
data, with an emphasis on critical thinking, global issues, social justice, ethical constructs,
interdisciplinary research, service learning, and community engagement. Beginning with a global
focus, the course will refine its scale as the term progresses, inviting students to help develop new
strategies for sustainable development on campus. Students will solve real local problems using
valid and applicable data from the Georgia College campus.
