POLI 561 - Foundations of Sustainability and Sustainable Development(3 credits)
Prerequisite: POLI 501, which may be taken concurrently; or consent of instructor and MPA program coordinator
Sustainable development and sustainability are increasingly important to public administration theory and practice. This course will introduce students to theories of sustainability, provide practical application to policy issues within the field and will teach students to better use planning tools in resources management. Areas of focus include management of natural capital, understanding of systems theories and impacts, management of environmental and human welfare, and conservation history as applied to local global governance and policy-making. Students will be expected to contribute knowledge from their own knowledge base and experiences to enhance the learning environment as service-learning is a component of this course.
