Colleagues, I encourage you to call this program (below) to the attention of your students who may be looking for a masters level program -- either as a basis for NGO or governmental work or as a stepping stone to a Ph.D program. We've had a very strong track record among our M.A. graduates in the past decade and have an outstanding, interdisciplinary faculty ( http://humboldt.edu/envcomm/faculty).
Situated on the Pacific coast, among the redwoods, Arcata and Humboldt County is both a beautiful location and an exciting laboratory for many local sustainability initiatives -- many led by current and former "E&C" graduate students. I'd be happy to answer queries from list members or prospective students, as would our program director, Mark Baker ([email protected]). Apologies for cross-posting... Best, John *** The interdisciplinary Master of Arts in Social Science Environment and Community Program at Humboldt State University is currently accepting applications for Fall 2012 admission. *The application deadline for Fall ’12 admission is February 15, 2012.* This is an exciting time for students to consider applying to the Environment and Community Program. The program’s core themes of sustainability, equity, and justice continue to guide the program’s growth. New graduate seminars, such as Political Ecology, and Conservation Ecology and Society, have been developed and we have expanded the research methods component of the program. Our core curriculum is divided into three curricular areas concerning environment and community. They are Economic and Political Dimensions, Socio-Cultural Dimensions: Race, Class, Gender and Place, and Ecological Dimensions. Our graduates pursue successful careers in the nonprofit sector, education, private sector and the public sector. Please explore our website (www.humboldt.edu/envcomm) for more information. Consider forwarding this message to other departments or programs whose students may be interested in applying to the Environment and Community Program. Contact the program coordinator, Mark Baker ([email protected] ), should you have any questions regarding what we believe is an exciting interdisciplinary program. Betsy Watson will coordinate the Environment and Community Program spring semester, 2012. Please email the program at [email protected] should you have any program-related questions during that period. -- John M.
