MA International Affairs: Natural Resources and Sustainable Development

2 Years On Campus Dual-masters Program

American University

Program Overview

What are the root causes of environmental degradation and poverty? The dual-degree Natural Resources and Sustainable Development (NRSD) program builds on your passion for social justice and ecological sustainability. It provides you with the knowledge and skills needed to work in government, environmental NGOs, or sustainable development organizations around the world. Our interdisciplinary perspective highlights inequalities in access to resources, which are key drivers of environmental conflicts and global environmental changes. Offered at American University by the Department of Environment, Development, & Health in the School of International Service, the NRSD program is a dual MA degree program through which students study at and receive degrees from both AU and the United Nations-affiliated University for Peace (UPeace) in Costa Rica. Program graduates will have the knowledge and skills to manage eco-development issues in a global context and build ties that bridge the Global North and Global South. Our graduates are visionary leaders in stewarding the Earth for the benefit of all.
