The Program in Environmental Design orients engagement to the creation of healthy and sustainable communities with attention to social justice and economic vitality.

The Environmental Product of Design (EPOD) major within the Environmental Design school creates design leaders prepared to take on challenges facing humanity and our environment(s) through the rigorous development of design solutions. Students implement a critical and hands-on design process that leverages design thinking, ethical consideration, and speculative design in conjunction with rapid prototyping, experimentation, fabrication techniques, and product development. EPOD majors graduate with creative confidence and diverse problem-solving skillset poised to make innovative solutions towards improving our human, natural, and built environments.
