Program Description:

The MA in Organizational Systems, Leadership of Sustainable Systems (LSS) program prepares compassionate, committed and effective leaders to address the pressing issues of sustainability in the 21st century. It makes a unique contribution to the growing field of sustainability education by focusing on the human dimensions of sustainability such as the intersection of human needs, behaviors, and cultures within the context of our natural and designed environments.
At Saybrook, we focus on the human dimensions of sustainability by putting the human experience, the human condition, and the practice of collaborative leadership at the center of questions of resilience and regeneration for a viable future.
Our approach to sustainability embraces paradox as an opportunity to enable a creative change process. From our perspective, sustainability is not a desirable static state, but an ongoing process toward more just, peaceful, healthy and viable futures for all living systems. The true challenge presented to leaders committed to fostering sustainability is the ability to manage the tension between different interests and design processes that lead towards a collectively desired future.
Students conduct a culminating applied research project with an organization or community committed to leading human change in the field of sustainability. Multiple opportunities to interact with leaders from diverse organizations and institutional contexts will be available to prepare students for careers in the sustainability field.
