Graduate Program News

The program aims to develop leaders prepared to collaborate across disciplines to address the complex ecological and societal aspects of environmental challenges, creating the foundation to realize a healthy planet and healthy communities now and for generations to come.

Skillman has been involved with the society since 1978 and will serve as the organization's president from 2024 to 2025.

The program combines natural and social sciences courses into a cohesive framework, training students to assess environmental threats, mitigate those threats, and communicate the effectiveness of those strategies to decision-makers and communities.

Every year, students in four of Goucher’s graduate programs come together for a weeklong residency on campus.

Students and faculty in our M.A. in Cultural Sustainability Program discuss the changing nature of cultural practices during COVID-19. Through Goucher’s ongoing partnership with the Smithsonian Center for Folklife and Cultural Heritage, students were part of a course that explores issues surrounding how museums and festivals represent culture.
