Special Concentration
The special concentration is intentionally more flexible than the major, given that students have their major classes as well. However, its structure allows students to benefit from the program’s cross-disciplinary courses and to build the expertise that will allow them to address the fundamental issue of how to move toward a trajectory of sustainability.
A minimum of nine courses and a practicum are required for the special concentration. Students will take courses within the following framework:
I. SDEV Foundation
II. Natural Science Systems
III. Social Science Systems
IV. Analysis and Solutions to Complex Problems
V. Skills/Actions
VI. Practicum
VII. Workshop
A letter grade of C- or better is needed in all program related courses in order to satisfy the requirements for the special concentration. P/F grades are only permitted in SDEV 3998.
