Sustainability Education

Our Education for Sustainability program is designed for those who wish to become leaders for a sustainable future. Utilizing emerging, critical, place, and problem-based educational theories combined with the power of thinking and working across traditional discipline boundaries, this 16-credit program seeks to increase the knowledge and skills necessary for students to become agents of change within their schools, organizations, communities and institutions. Students work collaboratively in a cohort community to construct meaning in classroom discussions, explore thought-provoking readings, and find solutions to complex problems.

Manhattanville is the only college or university in the region to offer an advanced certificate in Education for Sustainability recognized by the NYS Department of Education.
