Education

A robust educational program is an essential element of the Yale Center for Green Chemistry and Green Engineering. Center activities are focused on educating undergraduate and graduate students in the principles and practice of GC&E. The Center also serves the wider academic community by providing opportunities for faculty training and by developing and disseminating GC&E curriculum materials. A high quality, diverse educational program is achieved by including a broad range of sustainability sciences and engineering.
