Scholarships to explore:

Classes & independent study

We do not advise students on what courses to take, and we do not offer independent study opportunities.
We recommend that you talk with your advisor to plan how -- regardless of your major(s) or minor(s) --you can learn more about sustainability.
We also recommend that you take a well-rounded mix of courses to ensure you get a strong liberal arts education that helps you think critically, communicate well, and engage in interdisciplinary work. Sustainablity is about connections: sciences and social sciences, humanities and arts -- all are important to sustainability when they work together. (You can find all of UNH's academic programs HERE.)
