Sustainability Clusters
As many students often create their own clusters of related courses, there are now suggested courses to "create your own" cluster with a focus on sustainability issues and practices.
An individualized cluster is a group of related courses that has been approved by the university. Cluster Application Forms are available at Lattimore 312. Each cluster contains a minimum of 12 credits of coursework.
