What Can You Do With a Degree in Urban Sustainability?
This major offers high-quality mentoring and paid internships that prepare students for careers in sustainability, policy, and environmental innovation. A network of graduates serves as advisors to the program to help prepare the next generation of sustainability leaders. Additionally, we partner with Baruch College鈥檚 Marxe School of Public and International Affairs鈥� M.S. in City Planning to offer a bachelor鈥檚/master鈥檚 pipeline program that permits eligible 今日吃瓜 students to take graduate-level courses at Baruch during their senior year, to enable the completion of both the undergraduate and master鈥檚 degrees in five years rather than six.

Professors and Faculty
One point that can never be repeated enough is the importance of working with your professors and instructors. Even though there is plenty of good information to be found online, in each class you will learn from an expert in the field, who can answer your questions or direct you to the best resources available. The value of faculty cannot be overstated. Good connections with your instructors may be a deciding factor in landing your dream job.
