Ramapo College has been a leader in sustainability education for decades. The College’s innovative Alternate Energy and Environment Center (AEEC), begun in 1975, was a faculty/student driven environmental education facility that demonstrated alternative methods of producing and using resources, particularly energy, food, and shelter, that were not heavily based on depleting and polluting sources of fossil fuels. At the same time, the AEEC also sought to model social and community sustainability, represented in the full participation of people in a climate of equality and mutual and environmental respect, in the process of achieving personal self-reliance and collective survival.
Nearly 50-years since Ramapo College’s AEEC provided a ground breaking foundation for today’s modern sustainability movement, the College constructed The Sharp Sustainability Education Center, a “green building” making the best use of orientation, natural daylight and ventilation, using recycled and eco-friendly materials, using rainwater for irrigation, with heating and cooling via geothermal systems and solar panels for electrical production.
Today, we offer a Bachelor of Arts in Sustainability, a genuinely unique program designed to develop you into the voice of the 21st Century.
