The education component of ISEN's mission includes undergraduate and graduate course offerings on the topics of energy and sustainability.  In its first year, ISEN has designed and is now 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 for 2009-2010: ISEN 110, ISEN 120, ISEN 130 as well as ISEN 410, ISEN 430 and ISEN 440.

ISEN's unique approach to education incorporates an interdisciplinary style that involves team teaching, drawing faculty from a variety of schools at the University.
