The education component of ISEN's mission includes undergraduate and graduate course offerings on the topics of energy and sustainability.  ISEN's unique approach to education incorporates an interdisciplinary style that involves team teaching, drawing faculty from a variety of schools at the University.  ISEN has designed and is rolling out a series of courses that are attracting students throughout the University, from the physical sciences and engineering to journalism, the social sciences, music, business, communication and law.  ISEN’s Curriculum Committee has lead the development and approval of the following courses: ISEN 110, ISEN 120, ISEN 130 as well as ISEN 410, ISEN 430 and ISEN 440.   ISEN 420, CO₂ Monitoring, will be offered in Winter 2012.

Northwestern University offers a wide array of undergraduate and graduate courses that can provide multi-disciplinary instruction in the increasingly important areas of energy and sustainability. You will find a summary of those offerings in this section of the ISEN web site.
