Overview

The Sustainability, Ecology and Policy Program at The University of Vermont curriculum combines coursework from disciplines within and outside the Rubenstein School to produce an individualized major for each student.

Concentrations

Students may choose to concentrate their studies in one of two Sustainability, Ecology and Policy concentrations.

Applied Ecology Concentration - The Applied Ecology curriculum explores the biology and ecology of plants and animals in both aquatic and terrestrial systems and allows students to select courses around specific individual interests.

Environmental Planning, Policy and Law Concentration - The Environmental Planning, Policy and Law curriculum explores interactions among individuals, communities, and society with nature, resources, and the environment. It allows students to select courses around specific individual interests such as natural resource planning and community, policy and economic dimensions of resource planning, and international dimensions of resource planning.

Integrated Natural Resources Concentration - The Integrated Natural Resources option is the right choice for students who have strong interests in natural resources and the environment, clear academic direction, and the motivation to develop a well-focused, personally meaningful course of study. Working closely with a faculty advisor, students create an individualized program.
