Welcome to Environmental Studies!

In Environmental Studies, students imagine, analyze and invent solutions to help bring about a more equitably sustainable world. They join a vibrant community drawn from the natural sciences, social sciences and humanities, united by a shared interest: addressing urgent environmental issues. As students pursue learning opportunities from the Puget Sound bioregion to locations around the globe, they bridge knowledge across intersecting fields with hands-on experience.

Through their work, ENVIR graduates help build our understanding of who we are as humans and how we inhabit the world…and how to change that world for the better. Our alumni leverage professional experience gained through the major to build careers as environmental leaders in diverse fields in both the public and private sectors.
