The Best of Houston
The University of Houston offers a leading master’s degree in Futures Studies. For the past 11 years, the faculty have selected the best products from their most talented students, many of whom are professional futurists themselves, to offer attendees of the annual meeting of the World Future Society. Topics and methodologies vary across the whole range of futures studies, though all are current, having been developed in the previous year.
Participants will leave the session with an understanding of:
- A few exciting topics that are shaping the future.
- The latest methodologies and tools being taught in graduate programs around the world.
- The next generation of foresight professionals.
