Our recent survey shows that NYU Steinhardt currently offers about 48 courses that tackle various aspects of sustainability - from teaching climate sciences in classrooms to agricultural policy and climate actions through art, media, and fashion.
We hope to create a platform where students who are interested in sustainability-related topics can easily find and learn about relevant courses across disciplines offered at Steinhardt. It would also give faculty members a chance to promote their courses and to highlight elements on their syllabi that might not be immediately apparent from the course title and keyword searches.
If your course is missing from this list, please reach out to sustainability.steinhardt@nyu.edu in order to have it added to our list.
