Master's Degree: Applied Community Change and Conservation

Your Contribution to This Process

Since our learning about change and conservation begins with your communities, our mode of learning cannot be rigid. The Master’s program thus anticipates a steep learning curve this next decade. Part of our response to new learning and pedagogy will involve experiments. The Graduate School seeks to augment every aspect of its learning effectiveness. We encourage your evaluation and ideas.

The focus of the Future Generations Graduate School is partnering with students to empower their own communities to engage social change and conservation. While the Master’s program enrolls individuals, you all represent and serve larger communities. Hence this program is a graduate school for “communities of learning.”

You are to apply all courses and research to community life. By applying your learning in real time and place, by honing research questions and skills in daily life, and by referencing “success” in light of your community and the sites visited during the residentials, you will grow into a community-embedded scholar, practitioner, and leader.
