Students will be focusing on agroecology, alternative building materials, integrated waste management,
rainwater harvesting, renewable energy sources,
ecotourism
and social entrepreneurship.
Upon completion of the program, our students will do a community project that will be initiated by the university to create social, environmental and economic benefits to the people
of our nearby communities.
With this experience, students will be able to have
the critical thinking skills to evaluate the sustainability behind agricultural production systems, hotel operations, communities
and their own homes.
Our students will be able to develop a working plan to induce beneficial changes that will create a
positive impact in our societies.
