Formalized this academic year with CUNY, applicants to the Sustainability Program at CCNY will now see the option to apply to a fully online degree. Though options remain to complete the M.S. mainly in person or in a hybrid format, our SUS community will now expand from NYC to anywhere.
The Fall 2019 Industrial Ecology Course. Since this particular course offering, students have been able to complete the core class either in person or online depending on schedule and preference.
Alongside this exciting expanse in our student body learning from each other’s diverse backgrounds and knowledge, the Sustainability Program has also launched an Advanced Certificate in Urban Sustainability. Consisting of the four core courses, this 12-credit Advanced Certificate is also offered in person or online and all during weekday evenings as in the Master’s Program. The new, abbreviated credential is geared toward working professionals who would like to advance their careers through new expertise in urban climate adaptation, but are not necessarily seeking or ready for a full Master’s Degree. These four foundational core classes offer introduction to key theoretical approaches in systems thinking, policy, and environmental justice alongside working with such software as Open LCA on tangible, immediate sustainability solutions across various industries. Transitioning from the non-degree Certificate to the M.S. will be an easy and viable pathway for those after joining CCNY Sustainability.
