Overview

This Masters of Professional Studies in Leadership for Sustainability at The University of Vermont program is rooted in leadership practices that are inspired by the wisdom of nature and challenge forces of domination and oppression. Offering an innovative blend of remote learning intensives, interactive online courses and coaching, this two-year program is anchored by an incredible network of faculty and professional affiliates. At its heart is the dedication to cultivate a non-extractive, reciprocal and solidarity-based learning ecosystem rooted in love and relationship.

Is this program for me?

The Leadership for Sustainability program is grounded in the belief that the changes we create in the world are reflective of the changes and conditions we cultivate in ourselves.

This masters program is an invitation to deepen awareness of our social conditioning and to bring rigor, discernment, and accountability to our practice: aligning our actions, responses, strategies, and formations more fully with the values and aspirations for the world we want to create. The program is designed for practitioners from a wide array of fields and sectors who are willing to focus on their own learning and are committed to participating in a learning ecosystem centered around well-being, reciprocity, and relationship. The program workload and schedule is designed for leaders who work full-time (although this is not a requirement and that work can take many forms) and is intended to support learning that can immediately be applied to the work students are doing in their communities, organizations, institutions or other initiatives.
