COURSES

Explore sustainability-related courses at NYU. This list reflects courses that have been offered at least once since Fall 2015. Check with the department that offered the course to see if it is currently open to enrollment or if it will be in the future. This preliminary, and potentially incomplete, list was compiled from the Albert course inventory based on a collection of search terms related to sustainability in the environment, society, and governance, and includes internship seminars, fieldwork, and practicums. It will be updated over time.  

Albert is a great way to check what sustainability courses are available. As you build your course schedule, you can now look for classes related to sustainability. Simply go to the Academic Thread filter and select the "Sustainability"  tag.
