Emory Ranked #5 in the Princeton Review Guide to Green Colleges List

Emory University has secured the #5 spot in the Princeton Review’s 2025 Guide to Green Colleges

Rising two spots from last year, where Emory ranked in the #7 spot for green colleges in 2024, Emory has stayed in the Princeton Review’s top ten green colleges list for four consecutive years.

The Princeton Review tallied the ranking list based on data from its surveys of college administrators and students from 511 universities on a scale of 60 to 99. Emory received a score of 99. The university profiles used to create the Guide include notes on each school’s use of renewable energy, recycling, conservation programs, and the availability of environmental studies in their academic offerings.  

This exciting news coincides with this year’s effort to develop Emory’s third Sustainability Vision and Strategic Plan for 2025-2036. As Emory approaches its bicentennial, the Sustainability Vision and Strategic Plan will establish and guide Emory’s ambitions to model transformative practices and sustainable choices at every level. Emory’s Sustainability Vision is modeled after the United Nations’s Sustainable Development Goals, which provide a blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and in the future. 

The Vision builds on last year’s Climate Action Plan which provides a roadmap to fulfilling the two climate commitments President Fenves signed in 2021.
