A brief description of the sustainability-focused immersive program(s) offered by the institution, including how each program addresses the social, economic, and environmental dimensions of sustainability:
As part of the Master in Environmental Management course, all students - whether distance or residential - are required to attend two residential intensives. The first-year students attend a two-week intensive in August and the 2nd years attend a one-week intensive in August. All students convene for another week intensive in May. Social , economic, and environmental topics are investigated, presented, field trips are taken, etc. There is also a Mountain Resiliency 3-week intensive in October where students can travel to the Himalayas to explore community-based solutions to mountainous region issues.
