Duquesne’s outstanding sustainability practices have been recognized by the Princeton Review in its 2026 Guide to Green Colleges.

The annual guide highlights colleges that lead the way in environmental responsibility through green-certified buildings, renewable energy use and sustainability-focused academic programs.

Schools included in the 2026 list have impressive “green” statistics:

  • 18% of their energy comes from clean and renewable sources
  • 38% of their waste is diverted from incinerators or solid-waste landfills
  • 94% have a sustainability officer
  • 98% offer a sustainability focused undergraduate major or degree.

As part of this impressive group, Duquesne joins schools across the United States, Canada and beyond in advancing initiatives that matter for the planet and future generations.
