The College of Arts and Sciences at the University of Colorado Boulder is the intellectual core of the university, conducting research, scholarship, creative work and education in more than 60 fields.

CU Boulder is making sustainability a defining priority across research and undergraduate education, building on its established strengths in climate and environmental science. The newly developed Common Curriculum launches in Fall 2027 with a focus on sustainable futures created through fostering individual well-being, social equity, long-term economic vitality, and the health of the natural environment. The university's sustainability research initiatives support interdisciplinary scholarship through faculty fellowships and collaborative workshops. The SPIKE Center for Sustainability Education supports curriculum development and experiential learning across disciplines. These and other efforts create opportunities for an environmental humanist to collaborate with colleagues across campus, chart new pedagogical pathways in the field, and help shape the university's approach to sustainability.
