Environmental Studies ConcentrationEnvironmental Studies ConcentrationThe low-residency MA in Individualized Studies Program offers a 48-credit Environmental Studies Concentration with masters degree.
The Environmental Studies concentration offers a unique opportunity for students to combine place studies and environmental studies to address social and environmental issues. The work of the concentration bridges nature, culture, community, sustainability, restoration, justice, and action as areas of inquiry, art, and practice. By looking particularly at the concept of place as an integrating bridge between these areas, students can conduct interdisciplinary, individualized studies that bring greater meaning and a sense of wholeness to themselves and their communities.
Students choosing the Environmental Studies Concentration engage in a focused, rigorous, and individualized program of study guided by the themes of environment, place, and community. They draw from many modes and areas of inquiry and bodies of knowledge, as appropriate to their learning goals, and become familiar with place-based and environmentally -just solutions to environmental problems. |
