A human ecology course teaches students about sustainability and how geography, social constructs and even economics play a role. Students may benefit from an interdisciplinary study combined with real-life experience to understand the resources and communication needed to create a sustainable life.

Master-level studies involve specialized study in a field of research or an area of professional practice. Earning a master’s degree demonstrates a higher level of mastery of the subject.
Earning a master’s degree can take anywhere from a year to three or four years. Before you can graduate, you usually must write and defend a thesis, a long paper that is the culmination of your specialized research.
