Degree Overview
Lesley University’s Division of Environmental Studies is now offering a Master of Arts in Urban Environmental Leadership (UEL). As cities begin to play a critical role in shaping our planet’s ecological future, today’s urban environmental leader is challenged to consider traditional environmental topics such as ecology and pollution—as well as more contemporary issues of social justice, transportation, poverty, and housing.Students will investigate key topics such as:
- Urban ecology
- Environmental justice
- Sustainable cities
- International urban development
This unique program utilizes a low-residency cohort model to guide students through a sequence of courses that provide a common core of knowledge and skills while also allowing room for individual specialization.
