Education
Two pathways in
Students and researchers come to the Center to work inside its projects. Educators and practitioners come to use what those projects produce.
Pathway 01
Join us
The Center sits within the University of Michigan School for Environment and Sustainability, where graduate students work alongside faculty and research staff on systems analysis projects across all five research areas.
- Graduate study in sustainability science and engineering
- Research assistantships inside active Center projects
- Interdisciplinary collaboration across the university
Pathway 02
Use our resources
Factsheets, publications and educational materials are public. They are written so a classroom, a newsroom or a policy office can use them without a specialist translator.
- Factsheets summarizing a system in a few pages
- Peer-reviewed publications and reports
- Educational materials for teaching systems analysis
Learning by systems
Start with the matrix, not the syllabus
The fastest way to understand what the Center teaches is to walk one system end to end, then look at where it touches the others.
