CCNY is once again a Green College according to The Princeton Review®

The City College of New York is one of the nation's most environmentally responsible colleges, according to “The Princeton Review's Guide to Green Colleges: 2019 Edition.”

The Princeton Review chose the 413 schools it profiles in the guide based on a survey the company conducted in 2018–19 of administrators at hundreds of four-year colleges about their institutions’ commitments to the environment and sustainability.

The profiles in this year’s edition provide information about admission requirements, cost and financial aid, and student body demographics. They also include "Green Facts" about the schools, with details on such matters as the availability of transportation alternatives at the schools and the percentage of the school food budgets spent on local/organic food.

CCNY is an established leader in sustainability, with an expert faculty conducting groundbreaking research and providing innovative, interdisciplinary opportunities for students to engage in emerging approaches in architecture, engineering, science and the social sciences. 

The college’s response to a rapidly urbanizing global community consists of courses on climate response, resilient design, water resource management and energy, with engineering, science and architectural degree programs at both the undergraduate and graduate level that address the sustainability challenges of the 21st century.

CCNY celebrates the “Year of Sustainability and Environmental Justice,” which will focus on the college’s commitment to research and responsibility regarding climate change and environmental justice.
