Bachelors in Studio Concentrations in Sustainability and Social Practice

The Concentration in Sustainability and Social Practice-the first of its kind among art colleges-prepares students to engage their creative practice with the social and ecological issues facing the world today, earning the knowledge, language, and skills necessary to excel in this emerging field.Artists and designers wish to be cultural contributors; for many, this means acting as agents of social change, often through a proactive involvement with sustainability, climate change, and social responsibility-issues which are also the primary drivers of many professional fields. And while higher education has seen a rapid growth of programs in these areas, until recently, these have been largely restricted to the fields of science, engineering, and medicine.
