Master's Degree in Applied Community Change and Conservation

Future Generations Graduate School offers a two-year Master's Degree in Applied Community Change and Conservation. The Graduate School also supports research in community-based approaches to conservation, child health, and peacebuilding.

Since 2003, the Graduate School, in partnership with Future Generations the US-based non-government organization, has graduated three classes of students.

The Master’s Degree in Applied Community Change and Conservation builds the skills and capacity of mid-career community leaders. Instead of relocating to a campus, students remain in their own countries and continue serving their communities throughout the two-year program.

The program blends three instuctional modes: on-site field residentials for one month each term, online learning, and an applied practicum (thesis) project in each student’s community.

The Future Generations Graduate School is authorized to grant this Master's Degree by the State of West Virginia Higher Education Policy Commission.

The Future Generations Graduate School is a registered 501(c)3 non-profit institution of higher education and is currently a candidate for initial accreditation by the Northwest Central Association Higher Learning Commission.
