Learn the skills and strategies for transitioning to sustainable communities and economies, from global to local levels. The sustainable livelihoods and communities concentration of UM’s environmental science degree explores the intersections between environment and development, natural resource governance and collaboration, and community pathways to sustainability.
As an environmental science major, you’ll gain the skills to connect science and practice, engaging in extensive hands-on, field-based learning opportunities in the incredible outdoor classroom of western Montana. Many students in the sustainable livelihoods and communities concentration participate in a semester living and learning in the Swan Valley, nestled in between the Mission Mountains Wilderness and the Bob Marshall Wilderness.
