Program Description Students will be able to use insights from the natural, physical, and social sciences to help solve some of the world’s biggest environmental challenges — from water scarcity to pollution to loss of biodiversity. Students will learn about conserving and restoring ecosystems, and explore issues in environmental governance. And thanks to the small classes, students will develop a real sense of community right from first year. When students graduate, they can apply their knowledge in a growing number of fields, from green technology to ecological consulting to environmental law. And students who want an early start, they can also apply that knowledge to paid co-op work terms.
