* City Policy

Bound to be something there of interest!
Great stuff, thanks!

Hi Georges,
Thanks for listing these great programs!
Could you also add:
MBA in Sustainable Management, offered by Presidio School of Management in San Francisco, California, is currently the largest accredited Masters of Business Administration (MBA) program in the world that integrates sustainability into the entire curriculum. Students work on several real-world sustainable business consulting projects per year as deliverables for their classes and for companies, non-profits, governments. For more information, check out www.presidioMBA.org
Don't forget Prescott College http://www.prescott.edu has a PhD program in Education with a focus in Sustainability...
Hello Georges,
I have been looking to apply to programs in technology/engineering policy management with SD at their core. And the MSLS programme does fit the bill.
1) I understand tuition fee is nil. However, can you help me with a ballpark cost for 1-year boarding and lodging?
2) How reputed is this Univ and this programme?
3) Are there enough job opening which seek this degree?
Thanks,
Gurdas
Hi Gurdas,
I would say ave. living costs for a year are in the $10,000 range - but this is a highly variable number depending on your spending habits. the basics (rent, groceries) are cheap (compared to New York anyway) ave rent is like $250-$450 per month for decent places. But 'luxury' items - like beers and dinners out - are pricey (like more than NY), so you could easily spend considerably less or more than that depending on what you 'need'
BTH is a young uni (about 17 yrs old) and just building its rep. - the MSLS program however is exploding in terms of recognition - given that its only in its 4th year - the graduates from the first 3 years are out making good impressions and the network is strong with business and ngos, so i think in the near future it will have a very strong reputation, we've gotten amazing feedback from professionals in the field who we've worked with.
Yes, there are so many job openings, it's mind boggling - in the US and Euro anyway. I wouldn't say they're 'seeking' the MSLS degree, given that this program is the only one that offers it, so most haven't heard of it yet, but when it is described to them, most quickly see the value in it with regard to what they're looking for.
Hope this helps. Good luck.

Georges,

I really appreciate your blog on this info... I'm discovering its quite hard to find a compiled list of international information about what my options are for sustainable/renewable energy masters degrees.
Here are my findings;

Hello and wonderful blog posting.
Does anyone have information about the San Francisco Institute of Architectures "Masters in Green Building" program?
I was interested in finding a sustainability MBA or Masters program in sustainability that ran part time or with distance learning as part of it.
Thanks
Chris
This is a good database resource for all types of programs related to sustainability. However there doesn't seem to be a ranking system.
