The minor in Permaculture is an interdisciplinary program open to students in any major. Permaculture is a design approach for agroecosystems. With a focus on long- term sustainability, it emphasizes ecological principles and diversity of plant and animal combinations suited to the characteristics of places and cultures. As such, it is appropriate for students who are concerned with resource issues, agriculture, community development, and land use planning.
Students must complete a minimum of 31 upper-division units. (With adviser’s approval, a transfer student who has completed equivalent courses at the lower-division level in Categories 1-5 may use those courses to satisfy requirements in the minor as long as the student has a minimum of 20 upper-division units in the minor). Advising and approval for each student’s pattern of courses in the minor is required.
