Environmental scientists solve problems relating to conservation, waste reduction, recycling, pollution control, energy, land use and cover change, preserving biodiversity and ecological services, transportation, forestry, agriculture, economics and a wide range of other areas. The study examines human relationship to nature and developing solutions that prevent or reverse environmental deterioration. For more information contact Dr. Karl Korfmacher kfkscl@rit.edu.

The Environmental Science Minor is designed to introduce students to the interdisciplinary nature of environmental issues and concepts and provide them with opportunities to further investigate many of these issues through advanced course work. Students develop analytical, and problem solving skills and an understanding of the multiple stakeholder perspectives often involved with environmental issues. For more information contact Dr. Karl Korfmacher kfkscl@rit.edu.

The Environmental Modeling Minor is designed to introduce students to the process of spatial modeling for investigating environmental issues. The required core courses are designed to give students a solid foundation of environmental issues, concepts, problem solving skills, and an understanding of the multiple stakeholder perspectives often involved with environmental issues. For more information contact Dr. Karl Korfmacher kfkscl@rit.edu.

The Sustainable Product Development Minor is designed to introduce students to issues associated with developing and delivering sustainable product systems. Courses in the minor enhance understanding of the three dimensions of sustainability (economic, ethical, and environmental), develop awareness of the need for more sustainable approaches to product development, and explore strategies for developing and delivering sustainable product systems. For more information contact Dr. Brian Thorn bkteie@rit.edu.

The Kate Gleason College of Engineering now offers Master’s degree programs in Sustainable Engineering. The intent of these programs is to equip engineers with the tools they will need to meet the challenges associated with delivering goods and services through sustainable means. The Sustainable Engineering programs address sustainable product and process design methods as well as end of life management decision tools and technologies. The programs are truly interdisciplinary and, at present, are comprised of courses from four RIT colleges: the College of Engineering, the College of Liberal Arts (Public Policy), the College of Applied Science and Technology (Civil Engineering Technology, Environmental Management and Safety), and the College of Business. Students can choose either a thesis based Master of Science degree, or the non-thesis Master of Engineering degree. For more information contact Dr. Brian Thorn bkteie@rit.edu

Golisano Institute for Sustainability is developing the world’s first multidisciplinary Ph.D. program focusing on sustainable production systems. Research and curricula foster a holistic approach to achieving sustainability by simultaneously considering societal needs, ecological impacts, technology and policy factors, economic impacts, resource consumption, and waste generation. For more information, contact Paul Stiebitz phseie@rit.edu.

Like the Ph.D. program, the M.S. program focuses on sustainable production systems - systems that create goods and services using processes that conserve energy and natural resources and are non-polluting, economically viable, and safe and healthful for workers, communities, and consumers. Graduates will be prepared to undertake or continue careers in their chosen fields with an understanding of basic sustainability principles and the expertise to analyze and solve complex sustainability issues.
