SSI is a $20 million, 5-year program funded by the National Science Foundation’s EPSCoR program.

Students with backgrounds in a wide range of disciplines are encouraged to apply: e.g., social sciences, biological, earth, and chemical sciences, natural resource management, communication, engineering, education, mathematics, and more. SSI’s mission is to create an integrative research program and strong stakeholder partnerships that generate improved solutions to intersecting ecological, social, and economic challenges in and beyond Maine.

Graduate students will be part of an integrated research program built on strong stakeholder partnerships and collaborative, interdisciplinary research teams focused on urbanization, forest ecosystem management, and climate change. These efforts address the dynamics of social-ecological systems with an emphasis on moving from knowledge to action.

SSI anticipates awarding up to 25 Ph.D. fellowships with a large portion beginning in the fall of 2010. These fellowships would provide up to five years of support for students, and will include a stipend of $20-25,000/yr, a tuition waiver, subsidy for health insurance, and funds to support dissertation research.

The program will enroll its first students for the Spring 2010 semester. It will award a Master of Science degree in Sustainability to its graduates.

The 30-credit program is designed to respond to the increasing demand for a workforce equipped to meet the sustainability challenges of the 21st century. Students in the program will be prepared to adapt old and advance new generations of buildings, urban infrastructure and open spaces using approaches that take into account rapid urbanization, environmental degradation, peak oil, and climate change.

The program’s core curriculum lays a foundation in sustainability values, strategies and metrics through coursework in urban and natural systems, environmental economics and industrial ecology. It draws upon approaches such as ‘whole systems thinking’ and life cycle analysis to understand and evaluate complex urban eco-systems.

For admissions information and other questions about the new graduate program in Sustainability in the Urban Environment call (212)650-6977 or write to graduateadmissions@ccny.cuny.edu. An online application is available at: http://www1.ccny.cuny.edu/prospective/admissions/grad/index.cfm

Did you know? 50% of CUNY BA/BS graduates go on to graduate school!

“CUNY BA/BS enabled me to secure a research internship at Rutgers (my top-choice for grad school) which helped me gain acceptance to the graduate program and turn my internship into a long-term position.  So once again, many thanks to the program, as this route to completing my undergraduate studies and transitioning onward could not have worked out any better!”       -K.
