About This Program
The purpose of the Environment, Sustainability & Geography programr is to prepare you to create sustainable communities for present and future generations. This program provides you with the tools to understand the physical and social systems of the earth, to become informed change makers locally and globally. Sustainability challenges are all around us; from climate change, to vulnerabilities in the industrial food system, to the way we design cities. One of the fundamental hurdles in a transition toward sustainability is bridging the ecological and social sciences with decision-making.
The program trains you to analyze the interwoven nature of social and ecological systems, and translate that knowledge into policies to enact change. Meaningful engagement with the world outside the classroom prepares you to comprehend and address these challenges. To this end, the program provides you with theoretical and hands-on instruction in ecological and social processes, mentoring, as well as opportunities for professional and real-world experiences through internships and applied research.
