The Associates Certificate in Environmental Sustainability & Ecological Mission introduces students to foundational elements of the study of climatology and geology, including the use and abuse of natural resources and their respective impacts on human societies, leading to a framework for sustainability. These subjects are engaged in a theological context that assumes that pursuing the sustainability of natural resources is a feature of a missional ecology that encompasses the integration of human life with the environment. Students are thus provided practical ways to engage with God’s mission by being scientifically informed and theologically aware in their approach to the earth and its resources.
