Global Environmental Sustainability
MA
About this Program
Addressing the global challenges posed by a changing environment, population growth, and increased demands on our food, water, and energy resources is one of the defining tasks of the 21st century. The complexity of these issues requires innovative approaches to meeting these needs while creating a more sustainable path forward.
Our MA in Global Environmental Sustainability takes a global-to-local and human-focused approach to understanding the consequences of global change and human well-being. And there’s no better place to study. Our location in the heart of urban Denver--at the doorstep of the Rocky Mountains--provides students with unparalleled opportunities to learn and experience first-hand the challenges facing water rights and conservation, food supply and agriculture, and conventional and renewable energy.
