Northern Arizona University

Welcome to the Center for Sustainable Environments (CSE)

CSE is a national leader in university-based sustainability science. Northern Arizona University, which is becoming increasingly known as a "green" campus, is a fantastic resource for students who are eager to combine their academic careers with social outreach in environmental fields. The CSE provides oppotunities for those students through a variety of courses, internships and grants, and such students have been instrumental in forging connections between the university and the wider community on the Colorado Plateau and beyond.

We focus our programs on addressing two critical issues challenging the survival of humanity and other species on this planet:

From its position in the NAU College of Engineering and Natural Sciences, the CSE has reached out to form partnerships to accomplish its educational, research, and outreach activities. We collaborate with campus entities, non-profit organizations, federal agencies, and community partners. We invite you to join with us in adopting more sustainable practices and helping these collaborative efforts gain momentum.
