About the course

Many physical, ecological and social factors interact to shape the future of our ecosystems and societies. CSU?s innovative new graduate program in Ecosystem Sustainability enables students to develop core competencies in ecosystem science?the study of organisms and the environment?and apply that knowledge to address real-world issues. We help develop leaders in sustainability science: a new generation of practitioners able to address complex, integrated social and ecological problems, in collaborative partnerships with researchers, resource users and decision-makers.

　　Our graduates have the tools to understand complex scientific questions in sustainability, and the leadership and collaborative skills required to address current and future issues in sustainability.
