Sustainability is about finding solutions to challenges and exploring how you can effect change that makes a positive impact on the world. As a sustainability student at USD you will engage with community partners to restore native ecosystems, use the campus as a learning laboratory to advance sustainability locally, and work directly on the Missouri River to investigate the environment and study the impact of human activities on the Missouri National Recreational River.
