Program Description

Sustainable Communities (SC) is a unique and vibrant degree major that addresses current needs by integrating environmental education with cultural analysis, social action, public policy, and hands-on skill building. The course of study encourages a student’s capacity to think globally and systemically; to clarify value conflicts, motivations, and learning styles; and to plan and carry out imaginative projects. Students undergo an expansion of their perspectives and a deepening awareness of themselves in relation to their world.

SC courses ask questions such as: Who is offering what solutions to address current social and ecology issues? What can we do as individuals and as communities as part of a democratic society to offer real solutions to address social and ecological issues?
