Sustainability
Create a healthier planet
Simmons University’s specialization or minor in sustainability allows you to study a broad range of subfields. You'll learn how to approach the world's problems from many angles and find green solutions.
Through courses, you'll tackle 21st century environmental challenges using creative strategies such as better conservation, sustainable urban development, and restoring natural resources. You'll also gain a comprehensive understanding of environmental functions.
Our campus culture focuses on green initiatives and sustainable practices. For example, our Management and Academic Building earned Gold LEED certification from the US Green Building Council. And it uses 34% less water and 38% less energy than similar buildings of the same size.
