Partnerships
The MS in Sustainable Design has partnered with Villanova University’s MS in Sustainable Engineering Program to enrich their learning by experiencing sustainability courses at a partner University. Thomas Jefferson University students are allowed to take up to two courses at Villanova (with program director approval, students may take three). Specific courses will have different pre-requisites, however all Jefferson students are to have taken SDN 601 before they can take any of the Villanova courses. Villanova University offers the following courses for Philadelphia University students to choose from:
- Life Cycle / Impact Assessment

- Water Res. Planning & Management (with proper undergraduate/work experiences)
