Academics

John Cabot provides many ways to encourage students to develop their knowledge of and sensitivity to environmental sustainability. One way is through academic courses. These are meant to fully integrate with the wealth of other activities and projects available at the University: students clubs, community work, faculty-led trips, lectures and workshops, alumni networking and mentoring, the Triggering Change pitch, as well as the recently-created Certificate in Sustainability.

True to its liberal arts tradition, John Cabot takes a multi-disciplinary approach to sustainability, helping to develop a holistic vision that provides a broad approach to understanding and making sense of this complex topic. Courses are being added and the curriculum is evolving to accommodate greater flexibility and focus.
