Aramark and Starbucks at Pacific are working closely with the university’s Center for a Sustainable Society to reduce waste, increase composting, and provide students with the opportunities they have asked for to improve sustainability on campus.
Applied Sustainability Emphasis
Concentration/Emphasis
Immerse yourself in an interdisciplinary program with an emphasis on designing solutions to environmental problems.
Students combine the fundamentals of ecology and permaculture with social sciences and humanities as they seek solutions to complex global challenges.
We emphasize hands-on learning. Students study and practice ecological design at permaculture sites near campus, including Pacific University’s own B Street Farm, a learning lab for food production and permaculture.
