Abstract: Many academic disciplines have adopted and integrated the term “sustainability” as a “new and improved” addendum for 21st century curricula. Students are often exposed to a wide range of explanations without cohesion of content leading to a vague concept of their applications. This critical issue transcends individual disciplines but is rarely offered as a bridge between them. Herein, we describe a multidisciplinary approach integrating science, society, and sustainability into a coherent program of study and civic engagement. Students completing this program enhance their academic majors by developing their ability to make thoughtful life choices and address problems from a global perspective.
