Welcome to "George," Goddard College’s environmental and sustainability studies resources page. Named for George Perkins Marsh, the Vermonter whose book Man and Nature (1864) was the first study of human impacts on a global scale, "George" provides both a basic bibliography and a portal to World Wide Web resources. This page is a research tool and an introduction to the many faces of environmental and sustainability studies. Resources were chosen based upon their usefulness as: 1) introductions to their fields of study; 2) sources of significant information; or 3) portals to additional sources. We have also tried to offer diverse perspectives on controversial issues to promote a deeper understanding of them. You can help us to continue building this site. We welcome your comments and recommendations of additional sources that meet these criteria. Please spread the word about this site by linking it to yours. If you find broken links, please tell us about them. Send your comments and suggests to the page editor, LuttsR@Goddard.edu. Goddard College is not responsible for the content of external web sites. The opinions you encounter are not necessarily those of the college or of the page editor. Be sure to critically evaluate all print and web sources. |

Individualized Studies in Environment and Sustainable Communities
Low residency B.A, M.A. and M.F.A. Programs
Goddard College is for independent learners who wish to design their studies to pursue their passions, and who want to address significant issues in their communities and the larger world. Students attend an eight-day residency at the beginning of each semester during which each develops an individualized plan of study. The rest of the time, they work from their home, field site, or place of business in collaboration with faculty advisors. The individualized, experience-based nature of education at Goddard provides opportunities for students to study the environment and sustainable communities in ways that meet their needs. Degree options are:
B.A. and M.A. in Individualized Studies
B.A. and M.A. in Health Arts and Sciences
B.A. and M.A. in Education
B.F.A. in Creative Writing
M.A. in Socially Responsible Business and Sustainable Communities
M.A. in Psychology and Counseling
M.F.A. in Interdisciplinary Arts
M.F.A. in Writing
The Individualized M.A. Program offers a concentration in Interdisciplinary Environmental Studies. It encourages work that cuts across and beyond traditional boundaries. It also encourages students to design their studies to meet their personal, career, and intellectual goals. Our emphasis on combining action in the world with academic study enhances the career building potential of this work. A student’s studies can culminate in a traditional or project-based thesis.

Goddard College Central Campus
The college is located in central Vermont on what was originally Greatwood Estate, a prestigious sheep and cattle breeding farm. The historical landscape of this part of the farm was designed by the firm of Arthur Shurcliff, who served as landscape architect for Colonial Williamsburg and earlier worked with Frederick Law Olmsted. It is now on the National Register of Historic Places. Dormitories and a modern library are located elsewhere on the campus. The 117 acres campus features large expanses of upland fields, lowland meadows, mixed forests, and cedar swamps. |
