Permaculture Design Course at Naropa

If you're a college student interested in permaculture, you may be interested in Naropa. This is, as far as I have heard, the only course in permaculture design at an accredited university. It's being taught by Marco Lam. From the course description:
This hands-on, applied course builds on the work of Introduction to Permaculture and examines mycology, orchard design, soil development, water management, natural pest management, crop rotation and other areas in the context of a variety of gardening models including permaculture and biodynamic farming. Students develop skills for sustainable food growing. The course also includes field trips and demonstrations.

There are a couple of other courses related to permaculture in Naropa's BA in Environmental Studies.
