Permaculture is a design technique for creating sustainable human communities that are in harmony with the natural environment. It is a rapidly growing and internationally recognized design system for creating better ways of living with our life support systems and with each other. It is a set of principles and techniques that aim to create ecologically sound, economically prosperous, and spiritually rich human communities. This course provides students with innovative conceptual tools and the chance to view the future from many different angles. This is a unique opportunity for hands on experience in a class at Indiana University.

Students who complete this course receive not only three hours of IU credit, but certification in Permaculture, which enables them to practice and teach the art and science of Permaculture. Students must complete an application and be accepted to register for the course. The application deadline is Friday, March 27th. Enrollment is limited to 25 students. In addition to the 3 credit-hour tuition, a fee of $555 will be charged to cover transportation, food, lodging, facilities, and some course materials.
