• In 2017, MMC introduced a new major and minor in Urban and Environmental Sustainability (UES), replacing existing programs in Environmental Studies. These courses of study prepare students for careers finding sustainable solutions to environmental problems in a rapidly urbanizing world. The UES program is holistic and interdisciplinary, requiring coursework in the natural and social sciences as well as the humanities.
