Yale University
New Haven, Connecticut, USA
M.Sc., Ph.D.
Yale University is home to one of the fathers of green chemistry, so naturally, it has a center of green chemistry. At Yale, however, green engineering is lovingly brought into the fold. The labs that work in green chemistry here do so in an interdisciplinary way, attesting to the center's unique nature.
STUDENTS SAY...
Students are highly encouraged to take classes outside of their majors, and sometimes, above their academic status. This multidisciplinary environment encourages the diversity of opinion that is critical to creating sustainable solutions.
At the Center for Green Chemistry and Green Engineering at Yale, I learn something new every day, and am very happy making use of my knowledge on a wide range of sustainability-related projects. My supervisors view my academic and self growth as the highest priority.
