Does the institution offer at least one immersive, sustainability-focused educational study program that meets the criteria for this credit?:
A brief description of the sustainability-focused immersive program(s) offered by the institution:
The Urban Planning and Sustainability Project (UPSP) consists of an international partnership between California State University, Northridge (CSUN/US), University of Massachusetts, Amherst (UMass/US), and the Brazilian Federal University of Goiás (UFG/BR), and Federal University of Uberlândia (UFU/BR).
Under the supervision of U.S. and Brazilian project directors and faculty the selected students will focus their study abroad in urban planning and sustainability by examining various subject areas including transportation, environmental policy, comprehensive planning, energy and technology, climate change, housing and urban life quality, and urban migration. The project will offer CSUN students the opportunity to advance language learning while experiencing Brazilian culture. Additionally, students will engage in a network of U.S. and Brazilian academics, students, and public and private agencies as they have first hand experience of urban planning and practices of sustainability in Brazil.
