Learning Outcomes
A distinguishing element of the MSUS (vs. the MA or MS) program is the culminating experience, in which students will do an applied project that emphasizes the application of sustainability principles and approaches to their chosen career field. Students will be teaming up with a company, a government agency, or an NGO to develop a real-world sustainability solution. This practical experience will position MSUS graduates perfectly in today’s competitive, knowledge-intensive job market.
