				Through pursuing the Permaculture Design Certificate of Completion, students learn basic principles and applications of permaculture. Permaculture is a vision, set of ethical and practical principles, design system, and practice. Permaculture is aimed at supporting human needs equitably in culturally and environmentally diverse communities while simultaneously promoting the long-term health and integrity of both nature and culture. It is sustainability in action with a special focus on creating food systems that mimic the dynamic stability of healthy ecosystems. The Permaculture Design Certificate of Completion is not a Certificate of Occupational Proficiency. The courses in this COC can be applied as upper-division electives for the Bachelor of Sustainability Studies  (BASS). Students must have an Associates or Bachelor’s degree or be a junior in good standing at Colorado Mountain College, or have permission of the instructor to enroll in the courses. This Permaculture Design Certificate is offered at Steamboat Springs. |
