The article reports that Gaia University (GU), a new decentralized, action-learning-based University, was founded last fall. Permaculturists, eco-village founders, green technology innovators and other leaders in the sustainability field are now invited to partner with GU to offer Bachelors and Masters degrees, with accreditation formally recognized in both the U.S. and Great Britain. Students can take an informal or formal route toward their degrees, the primary difference being the commitment to deadlines. Formal learners will be expected to work to a set timetable with their learning gap while informal degree earners can work at their own pace. Degree programs will vary widely depending on area of study and the structure of a given regional center. |
