Sustainability Courses

SUNY Oneonta was recognized in 2018 for it's great work integrating sustainability within and across its curriculum by The American Association of State Colleges and Universities (AASCU). Academic integration can be seen through the designation of sustainability-focused and related sections throughout SUNY Oneonta, an annual faculty workshop providing support to instructors interested infusing sustainability into syllabi; an interdisciplinary major in Environmental Sustainability intended to prepare students to develop solutions to pressing environmental challenges; and opportunity for faculty and student participation in sustainability research through the annual Life of the Mind and Student Research & Creative Activity Showcase.
