Sustainability Practices
The Patel School of Global Sustainability (PSGS) fosters sustainable urban communities and environments through collaborative research, education and community involvement. Its research generates innovations and new knowledge that will help cities around the world, including those in developing countries, reduce their ecological footprint while improving their form and function to make them healthier, more livable and resilient.
The Patel School of Global Sustainability comprises the Patel Center for Global Solutions, the M.A. School of Global Sustainability and the Office of Sustainability. It is an inclusive and holistic school based on interdisciplinary research, design, and education.
The Patel School offers a Master of Arts (MA) in Global Sustainability designed to prepare students to address complex regional, national, and global challenges related to sustainability and the ability to innovate in diverse cultural, geographic, and demographic contexts. To leverage existing strengths in faculty expertise in global sustainability that parallel student demand, we have identified Water, Entrepreneurship and Sustainable Tourism as concentrations for the MA degree.
