Bachelor of Arts [B.A] [Environmental Studies] From Naropa University

The Environmental Studies curriculum integrates the complex and interconnected relationships of the natural environment, human culture, and personal experiences. These relationships are studied through five interrelated strands: field science; sacred ecology; sustainability; permaculture; and environmental history and justice.

Environmental Studies at Naropa University integrates a deep understanding of the living world through the study of science, systems, sacred ecology, historic and contemporary environmental movements, diverse perspectives and wisdom, and contemplation, as well as engaging in hands-on, community-based work. We believe that through critical examination and understanding, engaging in deep relationships, and developing appropriate skills, humans can learn how to respond to the rapidly increasing degradation of our natural resources, and creatively move forward with resiliency for a more balanced, sustainable relationship with the living world.
