After our gateway course World Sustainability, they study Public Policy, Environmental History, Energy and Society, and Natural History and Field Ecology.<\/p>\n<p>Students then individualize their advanced study by selecting their own path through a wide array of upper level electives. Possible 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. In a second experiential capstone experience an Environmental Assessment is undertaken of a real contemporary regional issue of significance.\u00a0 Forming their own consulting firm, \u00a0students learn to collaborate, to organize and manage, to do quality field research and to deliver professional quality work to actual clients.\u00a0 This program generates learning that will translate directly to graduates\u2019 future experiences.<\/p>\n<p>We employ experiential learning throughout the curriculum to provide hands on, real world experiences. All of our students engage in field learning through internship opportunities, Cooperative learning experiences, Independent Study\u00a0and\/or approved study abroad.\u00a0 Ramapo manages the highly regarded Meadowlands Environmental Education Center as well as several other regional programs and has a longstanding role in the Weiss Ecology Center.\u00a0 We encourage our students to participate in study abroad programs, offering the option to spend a life changing semester working with our own faculty in South India, as well as shorter programs in scores of other global study options. Many students do short-term work in a Macaw Sanctuary in Costa Rica.<\/p>\n<p>Our faculty and students actively participate in the continuing work on global sustainability focused around the United Nations. Our proximity to the UN and New York allows us to serve as a global crossroads of the best critical thinking in our areas of interest. 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 York, 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.<\/p>\n<p>Faculty bring a blend of academic accomplishment and real world professional experience to our program. They engage in research locally but also work across the globe.<\/p>\n<p>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 success is reflected in a student body active on campus and in the community, already engaged as change agents and innovators. A growing number of student clubs address issues of sustainability, environmental activism, beekeeping and animal rights and diet. Many of our students participate in the Sustainable Living Facility project. Our graduates are prepared to move fluidly into the work world, often forging their own opportunities. Many of our students elect to do advanced study at the master\u2019s level and some at the doctoral level.\u00a0 Doctoral theses by our graduates include such topics as the\u00a0 impact of wind energy on native peoples and the potential for environmental education to counter nature deficit. Our graduates have pioneered in such fields as hospital sustainability, solar design, environmental impact assessment, environmental and sustainability education, 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 current programs include the BA in Environmental Studies and a\u00a0minor in Environmental Studies. Our Masters in Sustainability Studies is preparing to graduate its third class. \u00a0For more information, contact Convener Michael R. Edelstein, Ph.D.\u00a0 Stop by to chat with Mike or other faculty, attend our many events, sit in on classes or engage our very active students through the growing number of environment and sustainability clubs on campus.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<div class=\"collapsableContent\" tabindex=\"0\"><div class=\"collapsableTitle\"><span class=\"fa-stack\"><i class=\"fa fa-circle fa-stack-2x\"><\/i><i class=\"fa fa-chevron-down fa-stack-1x fa-inverse\"><\/i><i class=\"fa fa-chevron-up fa-stack-1x fa-inverse\"><\/i><\/span>Outcomes for the Major <\/div><div class=\"c_content\">\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><\/div>\n<div class=\"collapsableContent\" tabindex=\"0\"><div class=\"collapsableTitle\"><span class=\"fa-stack\"><i class=\"fa fa-circle fa-stack-2x\"><\/i><i class=\"fa fa-chevron-down fa-stack-1x fa-inverse\"><\/i><i class=\"fa fa-chevron-up fa-stack-1x fa-inverse\"><\/i><\/span>Requirements of the Major <\/div><div class=\"c_content\">\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.
