More than 500 undergraduate and nearly 300 graduate courses related to sustainability are available through dozens of colleges, schools and departments across . . . campuses. Highlighting . . . commitment to sustainability in education is the pioneering School of Sustainability which saw 544 undergraduates and 86 graduate students enrolled… Online [we] have launched a new Graduate Certificate in Sustainability Leadership.”
