EcoDwelling:

A New College of California - North Bay
BA and MA Program Concentration

EcoDwelling is a 3-semester Concentration offered through New College of 
California North Bay Campus’s (Santa Rosa) Culture, Ecology and Sustainable 
Community program.  It offers accredited BA completion and MA degrees.

The EcoDwelling Concentration is a holistic approach to dwelling in the 
broadest sense – encompassing the very nature of existence and being – and 
the entire process by which we inhabit our ecosystems and the planet.  It is 
concerned with the causes of our current dwelling process failure, the 
principles of success, and the application of principles in the design of 
equitable, sustainable, universally affordable alternatives.  The 
Concentration provides students with an opportunity to implement vision, 
theory and design as their own radically affordable, sustainable means of 
dwelling.  And to then develop a project of their own choice that might help 
facilitate success for others as well.

The EcoDwelling Concentration is intended for anyone with an interest in any 
aspect of the dwelling process and its relationship to the whole.  It is 
intended for anyone interested in discovering how to make their own way and 
means of dwelling more affordable, sustainable and liberating – thereby 
being able to help others do the same.  As awareness of our collective 
crisis increases, the need for those who can recognize, understand, and 
implement sustainable alternatives will be substantial.
