3.12.1. Graduate Program in Sustainability and Green Design

The SGD group at the University of Pittsburgh is the next generation of interdisciplinary education and re-

search in environmental and sustainability engineering and green design. SGD brings together forward-thin-

king and enthusiastic faculty with experience in coordinated interdisciplinary approaches towards research,

education, and outreach.

The program in Sustainability and Green Design addresses some of the most pressing concerns of the 21st

century. We involve students in a comprehensive course of graduate study that addresses the multifaceted is-

sues and challenges in sustainability. Education and research which cut across multiple disciplines is empha-
sized so that students learn innovative approaches to understanding and providing solutions to complex is-

sues faced by today's society. The flexible and collaborative nature of the program allows students to focus

on problems of interest to them, while drawing upon relevant knowledge from a variety of disciplines.
