The Department of Community Sustainability has numerous faculty and students engaged in international development research, frequently extending concepts from other focus areas to developing nations. Their work also explores agricultural technology implementation, connections between nutrition and farming, and collaborative approaches for managing shared natural resources. The department commonly employs participatory, action-based, and mixed-method research strategies.
The CSUS graduate program caters to students passionate about community sustainability, whether in local or global settings. Generally, faculty, researchers, and graduate students concentrate on community food systems, environmental resources, tourism and recreation, civic education, and global development. These interconnected themes also intersect with sustainable tourism and protected area management, which are central to the department's other graduate degree programs. This research spans both domestic and international contexts, with many scholars actively contributing to international development initiatives.
