Overview

Combining online coursework and field courses in Nepal and Mexico, Sustainable Development at the School for International Training offers part-time and full-time professionals the opportunity to build skills in community development and social change without stepping off the career track.

Through the summer and fall, your online courses will help you gain a deeper understanding of how current power structures, policy frameworks, and belief systems lead to today’s growing social and environmental disparities.
