Set aside for a moment the fact that Arizona isn’t on the east coast. Arizona State has intentionally accessible admissions standards but some really intriguing academic programs. One is a cross-disciplinary degree in Design Studies:

[BA in Design Studies | Cross-Institute | Degrees | ASU Herberger Institute for Design and the Arts](Degree Programs | The Design School)

and another is the nation’s first (only?) School of Sustainability:

[School of Sustainability // Arizona State University](http://schoolofsustainability.asu.edu/)

ASU is frequently cited as a best buy in higher ed, with out-of-state tuition and fees at $22K this fall and room and board another $11K; with a 3.6 GPA, your D would get an $8,000 / year merit scholarship as long as she has a 1050 (out of 1600) SAT. Given her specific interests, it might be worth checking out.
