Teaching

CIES is a research center that does not offer a formal program of environmental studies. However, the Graduate Institute’s academic units offer a rotating selection of courses on environmental topics, open to students in all of the Institute’s academic programs . Since the initiation of CIES in 2010, there have been several new courses in environment created for students at the Graduate Institute.
