Program Information
The Master of Integrated Sustainable Development (M.I.S.D.) is an interdisciplinary graduate degree program offered by the University of Florida (UF) College of Design, Construction and Planning (DCP) Sustainability and the Built Environment (SBE) Program. The M.I.S.D. is a STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) degree delivering education within the planning, design, construction, and operations of more sustainable and resilient built environments. Through a mix of pedagogical approaches, MISD students will learn the skills and strategies to facilitate a quadruple bottom line of ecological, cultural, social, and economic sustainability across local, state, national, and international scales.
The M.I.S.D. curriculum focuses on collaborative and integrative design, construction, planning, and engineering problem-solving, as well as leadership and management, in the built environment. MISD students are critical thinkers, managers of complexity, and strategists capable of creating comprehensive assessments and solutions to cross-disciplinary problems with social, political, economic, ethical, and technical components.
