Bachelor of Arts in Urban Sustainability - Environmental Economics and Business Management
在布鲁克林学院
關於課程
The urban sustainability program takes a unique interdisciplinary approach by offering concentrations in economics, environmental science, and sociology. Students will examine the causes of urban sustainability problems and devise solutions that promote environmental protection, social equity, and economic vitality. Alongside their coursework, students will learn how to map economic, environmental and social data using our geographic information system (GIS) laboratory to produce and analyze data. Our place-based teaching approach features hands-on engagement with the natural and built environment of New York City - including field trips to community gardens, local waterways, and city parks - preparing students to understand and find solutions to global issues affected by urban development in an era of climate change.
Economic sustainability requires economic development which meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs. (Our Common Future, 2007). Students choosing Environmental Economics and Business Management as a concentration examine environmental economics and policy, environmental management, economic growth, development and trade. Environmental economists study the interrelationships between economic institutions and the natural environment at multiple spatial scales -- neighborhood, urban, regional and global. Students completing the Economics concentration will be able to: 1) apply economic principles to problems related to the natural sciences, 2) understand the interdependence of risk and uncertainty in social behavior and natural systems, and 3) be familiar with multidisciplinary collaborative approaches for solving complex human-natural system problems. Students will be prepared for graduate study in environmental and sustainability programs, environmental law and public policy programs, as well as entry-level jobs in environmental government agencies, the not-for-profit sector, and environmental health and safety functions in Fortune-500 corporations.
