Transcending siloed and narrow disciplinary thinking, we emphasize the interplay of sphere and society. After some preparatory foundational courses, students undertake core study of World Sustainability, Public Policy, Environmental History, Energy and Society, and Natural History and Field Ecology.<\/p>\n<p>Students are urged to individualize their advanced study by selecting their own path through a wide array of upper level electives. These pathways include:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Place-based Community,<\/li>\n<li>Education for Sustainability,<\/li>\n<li>Policy, Ethics and Law,<\/li>\n<li>Natural Resources and Parks,<\/li>\n<li>Social Ecology,<\/li>\n<li>Permaculture: Food, Water and Energy, and<\/li>\n<li>Experiential Learning.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>A capstone topical seminar hones academic research skills.\u00a0 In a second experiential capstone an Environmental Assessment is undertaken of a real regional issue of significance.\u00a0 Here students learn to collaborate, to organize, to do quality field research and to deliver professional quality work to actual clients.\u00a0 The program generates learning that will translate directly to graduates\u2019 future experiences.<\/p>\n<p>Our graduates are prepared to move fluidly into the work world, often forging their own opportunities.\u00a0 Many of our students elect to do advanced study through our own Masters in Sustainability Studies or elsewhere.\u00a0\u00a0 Our graduates have pioneered in such fields as hospital sustainability, solar design, environmental impact assessment, sustainable building, sustainability education, ecological landscaping, environmental law, local food, climate and energy policy, environmental engineering, sustainable land use planning and design, and local business development.<\/p>\n<p>Our faculty is a mixture of established academics and experienced professionals.\u00a0 We employ experiential learning throughout the curriculum to provide hands on, real world experiences.\u00a0 All of our students engage in field learning through internship opportunities, Cooperative learning experiences, and\/or Independent study.\u00a0 We encourage our students to participate in study\u00a0abroad programs, offering the option to spend a life changing semester in South India, as well as scores of other options.\u00a0 Our faculty maintain strong links to global sustainability discourse by actively engaging with the United Nations.\u00a0 Given the importance of local sustainable communities of place, we use as our local laboratory the beautiful Ramapo Mountain\/Highlands region of New Jersey and New\u00a0York, its diverse communities and its ecological and historical wealth.\u00a0 We partner with the best local and regional organizations, including our neighbors, the Ramapough-Lenape nation, to promote the restoration and preservation of the region.\u00a0 Our faculty are active environmental stewards, working for sustainable innovation.\u00a0\u00a0 And we offer seminars, workshops, lectures, MOOCS and conferences on a regular basis, bringing diverse models of sustainable practice and innovative thinkers from around the world to enrich our learning environment.\u00a0 The result is a dynamic educational context, matching local and global. Few have been doing this longer than we have, and few do it as well.<\/p>\n<p>Our current programs include the BA in Environmental Studies, a minor in Environmental Studies and the Masters in Sustainability Studies.

Edelstein, Ph.D.\u00a0 [aka\u00a0 Mike] or arrange to stop by and attend events, classes and chat with faculty and students.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"collapsableContent\" tabindex=\"0\" type=\"button\"><div class=\"collapsableTitle\">Outcomes for the Major <\/div>\n<p><strong>Goal 1<\/strong>: Students will be able to recognize and address both global and local issues of sustainability, based on an interdisciplinary understanding of environmental affairs.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><strong>Outcome 1<\/strong>:\u00a0 Student work will reflect a clear grasp of the connected nature of global and local issues in community sustainability.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Goal 2<\/strong>: Students will demonstrate an integrative interdisciplinary perspective capable of synthesizing across the natural sciences, social sciences and economic perspectives.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><strong>Outcome 1<\/strong>: Student work will clearly reflect an understanding of Sustainability as a transdisciplinary concept that integrates the Environment, Ethics, and Economy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Goal 3<\/strong>: Students will demonstrate the ability to integrate and synthesize interdisciplinary research while at the same time showing competence in written and spoken presentation.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><strong>Outcome 1<\/strong>: Students will pass a capstone experience on Environmental Assessment that incorporates a field research project.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><strong>Outcome 2<\/strong>: As a writing intensive course, incorporating a series of iterated writing assignments and multiple opportunities for formal oral presentation.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Goal 4:<\/strong> Students will develop collaborative skills, through community building, cooperative teamwork, and interaction with stakeholder processes that can lead to strategic involvement in real world sustainability decision making.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><strong>Outcome 1<\/strong>: Students will experience a capstone experience in Environmental Assessment where they conduct cooperative field research and prepare a collaborative project outcome, while engaging in reflective reading, writing and analysis based on collaborative team work.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding-left: 30px\"><strong>Outcome 2<\/strong>: Students will develop collaborative decision making skills in strategic involvement in real world issues and interact extensively with stakeholder processes grounded in real world policy setting and decision making.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"collapsableContent\" tabindex=\"0\" type=\"button\"><div class=\"collapsableTitle\">Requirements of the Major <\/div>\n<ol>\n<li>Transfer students who have 48 or more credits accepted at the time of transfer are waived from the courses marked with a <strong><strong>(W)<\/strong> <\/strong> below.
