Find solutions to pressing global issues
Sustainability impacts all aspects of global business, politics, economics and society, creating a need for leaders who have the skills and knowledge to address issues such as climate change, reliance on traditional energy sources, water issues and the demand for socially and environmentally responsible products and services.
Oregon State University is recognized worldwide as a premier sustainability and natural resources university, and now OSU students can earn their Bachelor of Science (B.S.) online in this demanding and popular area of study.
A double degree to double your job prospects
The B.S. in Sustainability is available as a double degree online through Oregon State Ecampus. Current OSU students can complete this degree program as an addition to their primary degree program. The degree is designed to complement all OSU degree programs and previously earned bachelor's degrees. For example, Oregon State business students can add the sustainability degree and earn both a bachelor's in business administration and a bachelor's in sustainability – making them competitive job candidates in fields such as sustainability marketing and market research, sustainable products development and strategic planning.
If you're pursing the sustainability degree as a postbaccalaureate student and did not graduate from Oregon State University, you will be required to take a minimum of 45 credits.
Note: Oregon State also offers a sustainability minor online as an alternative to the double degree.
