About

The Ecosystem Sustainability program from Colorado State University serves as a foundation for a wide range of careers, including academic and scholarly professions, and work in government agencies, non-governmental organizations, and corporate and entrepreneurial environments.

Overview

Many physical, ecological, and social factors interact to shape the future of our ecosystems and societies. The innovative Ecosystem Sustainability program from Colorado State University 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-ecological problems in collaborative partnerships with researchers, resource users, and decision-makers.

The 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. 

A focus on solutions

Students work at the cutting edge of new research on ecosystem sustainability. Collaborating with some of the world’s leading ecosystem and sustainability scientists, students explore solutions to global problems related to water and natural resources, food supplies, energy, greenhouse gas management, land-use change, climate change, and environmental justice, among others.
