Sustainability Courses & Degree Programs

Sustainability Courses 

Life-cycle analysis. Climate change. Nanoengineering for the future of bits and bytes. Plants, genes, and global food production. Whatever your passion or major, Cornell offers a sustainability course for you.

Sustainability Classes

Cornell's commitment to sustainability in its education curriculum is evidenced by the broad course list. Explore Cornell's 700+ sustainability classes to find your next learning experience. The list is managed and maintained by the Cornell Campus Sustainability Office.

Courses have been identified by instructors, college administrators, or by an independent review of course content. We encourage faculty, departments, schools, and colleges to bring other sustainability courses to our attention, by working with the Campus Sustainability Office to add new material to the list on an annual basis.
