教育
Developing Solutions 和 Shaping Lives
可持续性 is a core tenet of DU's long-term strategy, 和 we've made it an integral part of our educational approach. 在杜, students have access to many courses 和 research opportunities related to sustainability 和 the social, economic 和 political issues that define our present discourse 和 shape future solutions.
Our academic approach combines rigorous classroom work 和 extensive experiential education. Students taking sustainability courses have opportunities to engage with the larger community to tackle the systemic issues that surround environmental issues. We're working to improve lives on 和 off campus, while training professionals with the knowledge 和 experience necessary to address the challenges of a changing climate.
可持续性 证书, Programs 和 Courses
Our cross-disciplinary educational approach brings sustainability concepts to a diverse set of 项目 across campus. 在杜, you can take individual courses in sustainability concepts to supplement your degree, but you can also dig deeper with a minor, concentration or certificate program from one of our schools 和 colleges. From tackling Global Sustainable Development with the Graduate School for Social Work to the Daniel's College of Business MBA program — ranked the second-greenest program of its kind in the country — there's no shortage of ways to grow your knowledge 和 develop your practical skills.
研究
Students can gain valuable experience by participating in or conducting research, either independently or alongside faculty. 可持续性 和 the environment have become major targets of ongoing research here at DU, 和 students are encouraged to develop their own questions 和 seek out transformative answers that can contribute to a healthier environment 和 a more just society. Funding is available through grants 和 other sources, ensuring that students are equipped with the resources they need to explore new questions while building their professional 和 academic acumen with h和s-on experience.
