An online, bioregional
approach to distance education.
As one of the nation’s pioneer environmental liberal arts colleges, Green Mountain offers an excellent opportunity to pursue graduate studies at home. Our online program, accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges, is ideal for working professionals, allowing you to earn your graduate degree while earning a full-time income. Its emphasis on practical application of knowledge will prepare you for professional work, whether you’re just launching your career or looking for growth in an established position.
The normal time expected to complete your degree is two years, which includes two brief residencies at our Poultney, Vermont, campus.
Our master’s program is distinctive in that you are asked to apply the skills and knowledge you are learning to issues in your local area. This enables you to go beyond conventional education and learn to identify and solve problems in your own community. Your classes will typically begin with a case study, then move to a relevant theory, before asking you to apply the theory to issues in your local bioregion.
Students in this program can expect to gain a solid foundation in environmental science, law, policy, and organizing principles. You will have ongoing interaction with the College’s excellent faculty in disciplines as diverse as history, biology, business and economics, geology, communications, philosophy, law, education, English, and natural resource management.
