Sustainability CERT

Anoka‑Ramsey’s commitment to environmental action goes beyond coursework. We’ve launched campus recycling systems, organics composting, a Sustainability Policy, a new 104-module solar array and more.

In partnership with a Minnesota GreenCorps member, Anoka-Ramsey completed an in-depth greenhouse gas assessment that helped guide the college toward a more sustainable future through a Carbon Action Plan.

You’ll learn in an environment where sustainability is not only taught; it’s practiced every day. Sustainability is woven into many areas of campus life, from classroom discussions to community partnerships. Faculty and staff help model best practices through educational campaigns, an active Sustainability Committee and outreach that support environmental action within the surrounding community.

Anoka‑Ramsey is currently the only community college in Minnesota offering a multidisciplinary Sustainability certificate. This makes the program a standout choice for students who want specialized skills that pair with any major or career path.

At Anoka‑Ramsey students save an average of about 65% per credit compared to regional public and private universities. With scholarships, resources and clear pathways forward, Anoka‑Ramsey helps you start strong, build confidence and invest in your future with purpose.
