佩珀代因大学鼓励就可持续发展和气候变化问题进行公开对话。 With academic coursework, conferences, and co-curricular activities, the greatest role that Pepperdine plays in the sustainability field is instilling in our students an eco-minded awareness. Pepperdine seeks to instill the ethic of sustainable living while also providing career opportunities in the "green" economy.

可持续性小

In 2015 Pepperdine launched a sustainability minor, which exposes students to environmental issues, allowing them a critical understanding of theological, philosophical, scientific, political, communicative, literary, business, and economic dimensions of contemporary global sustainability challenges. This minor is ideal for students who may pursue careers in law, ministry, government, journalism, or business, and for students interested in graduate school. Requirements for the minor include courses like Christianity and 可持续性, Environmental Politics and Policy, and Environmental Literature. 了解更多关于未成年人的信息.

Several faculty members involve students and partner with governmental agencies to actively conduct research in the fields of conservation biology and restoration ecology. The areas of focus include stream habitat restoration and post-fire ecology restoration and conservation, as well as coastal habitat monitoring and restoration. These sustainability research opportunities have been available to students for more than fifteen years.
