Sustainable Development

THE SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT CONCENTRATION helps students develop an understanding of the sustainability of project goals beyond financial and organizational issues, and provides a foundation in the concepts and methods of sustainable development.

The concentration helps students gain an understanding of the current state of global development and engages students in critical thinking about reducing poverty, hunger and human inequality, and in conserving the environment. Sustainable Development concentrators will study a rights-based approach to social change and have the opportunity to take courses in project planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation.

The concentration is suited to early- to midcareer managers of domestic and international organizations working on poverty alleviation, community development, health care, women-in-development, biodiversity, conservation, disaster mitigation, small enterprise creation and advocacy.
