Academic Program
Environmental and Land Use Studies in Israel
Michigan State University in collaboration with The Arava Institute for Environmental Studies
The location offers a unique opportunity for students interested in environmental studies and conservation. The
institute, located in the Arava Desert in southern Israel, serves as a regional center for natural resource conservation
and environmental protection. It provides students with the technical information, fundamentals of public policy, and an
understanding of theoretical and philosophical concepts necessary for effective participation in environmental planning
and conflict resolution. The program is notable not only for its focus on the environment, but also for its location on
Kibbutz Ketura. Because students will be living and studying on the kibbutz, they will experience life in this unique model
of communal agricultural life.
