Future Generations University is genuinely unusual—a small graduate school in Franklin, West Virginia focused entirely on social change, community development, and environmental sustainability. There are no undergraduates. Every student is an adult with real-world experience seeking to deepen their impact in communities.
The curriculum is intentional and intensive, taught by faculty who've lived the work. Class cohorts are small and genuinely collaborative. The philosophy here is that graduate education should be about transformation, not credentialing. If you've worked in nonprofit, development, or community organizing and want to study it rigorously alongside peers with similar commitments, this is the place.
