Degree Offered

MA Environmental Leadership

Format: Campus

Program Description:

The Master of Arts in Environmental Leadership program offers an integrated interdisciplinary curriculum, which explores living systems theory, deep ecology, ecopsychology, diverse leadership models and contemplative practice. The program's multilayered approach results in a deepened learning experience that allows students to engage the whole of environmental issues.

Naropa’s Environmental Studies Department has been training effective leaders at the master’s level since 1995. The MA in Environmental Leadership is a two-year, 39-credit residential program comprised of semester-long courses and an eight-day summer field course that involves a three-day wilderness solo. In the final year, students apply their leadership skills to a collaborative project within an organizational or community setting. Most classes are scheduled in the late afternoon and evening and on occasional weekends to accommodate working students.

The MA in Environmental Leadership trains students to lead creatively and compassionately from a strong inner foundation of self-knowledge. Under this new paradigm of leadership, our MA students are empowered to direct and manifest an emerging future that integrates multicultural perspectives, collaborative decision-making and cutting-edge environmental thinking on behalf of the earth and all living beings.
