Graduates of the Environmental Policy and Sustainability Management program emerge as thoughtful, innovative practitioners with the analytical skills and practical tools needed to advance environmental, climate, and social justice for a more sustainable world.
Our alumni make a difference in government, nonprofits, advocacy and social change organizations, policy and research institutes, movement building, and organizing projects, as well as the private sector. Graduates not only innovate in the industry, holding senior roles in organizations such as the United Nations Development Programme, the City of Oakland, Con Edison, and the Hunger Project, but also reimagine the way community development and environmental solutions are carried out every day through positions at the Tishman Environment and Design Center and Cooperative Climate Futures.
“One big lesson from The New School was to challenge everything. By challenging traditional models of thinking, that type of environment really allowed me to learn from others, to trust myself, and to really imagine new ways to do things.”
Green Infrastructure Grant Program Manager at the New York City Department of Environmental Protection
Project Manager for Zero Waste and Circular Economy at the National Caucus of Environmental Legislators
