History edit

The Arizona Board of Regents approved the establishment of the School of Sustainability in 2006. In January 2007, the School of Sustainability accepted its first graduate students into the program. Dr. Charles Redman[7] was the founding Director of the school as well as the Global Institute of Sustainability. In fall 2008, the first undergraduates enrolled in the school's degree programs. In 2010, the university-wide Minor in Sustainability was launched and Dr. Sander van der Leeuw [8] became the new Dean of the school. In fall 2013, the school launched a new Master's of Sustainable Solutions degree, an applied program without a thesis requirement. The Minor in Sustainability was first offered through ASU Online in fall 2013. In July 2013, Dr. Christopher Boone became the Interim Dean. In October 2014 he was appointed as Dean.[9] The Executive Master's for Sustainability Leadership accepted its first cohort of students in January 2014.[10] In June 2014, Starbucks and Arizona State University announced a partnership whereby Starbucks will cover part or all of the tuition costs of its employees to complete degrees though ASU Online, which include three programs in sustainability.[11] In April, 2015, the ASU-Starbucks College Achievement plan was expanded from two years to four years of support for a bachelor's degree.[12] In fall 2015, two new fully online degrees were launched: the BA in Sustainability and the Master of Sustainability Leadership.[4] Beginning in fall 2016, the BS in Sustainability was offered fully online.[1]

In 2015, ASU was ranked 11th in the Sierra Magazine's 2015 Rankings of America's Greenest Colleges and Universities, also known as the "Cool Schools" ranking.[13] In September 2016, it jumped to 6th in the "Cool Schools" rankings.[14]

In 2019, the School of Sustainability became part of the College of Global Futures in the ASU Global Futures Laboratory.[15] Dr. Diane E. Pataki was appointed as the School Director in 2021.
