💎 Why Tomorrow University

“Sustainability is not a master in itself, but it’s a part of every program that we do.” Christian Rebernik

It isn’t your typical degree program. Every program is integrated with a sustainability-first approach. For instance, you will not just learn about technology. Instead, you will learn about using technology in a sustainable way.
Sustainability-first approach: “It’s a way of thinking and decision-making that prioritizes environmental, social, and economic sustainability as the primary goal. It seeks to create a world that is healthy, equitable, and resilient for both present and future generations.” (Source: What is Sustainability by Colorado State U)
Students are problem solvers. Together with a group, students solve a particular challenge guided by instructors with a definite learning path. Theories are learned and directly applied to solve real-world challenges that turn into a capstone presentation.
Flexible & diverse. Accredited degree programs are fully remote and students can interact with a global community of like-minded individuals with diverse backgrounds.
Advocates lifelong learning. It’s breaking the mindset of having a degree just for the sake of it. Instead, it advocates lifelong learning and curiosity to build a more sustainable future.

🏁 Players

In the past, sustainability degrees are focused mainly on environmental and climate issues. Today, sustainability is integrated into degree programs that help existing companies transition into a more sustainable business model. Here are programs where you can learn how to change existing companies into sustainable businesses or build new ones from scratch.
