Putting earthly passion to work

Susquehanna’s environmental studies program trains you to address today’s complex environmental problems with the power of an interdisciplinary approach.

From day one, your award-winning faculty will inspire you with hands-on projects, research, knowledge-creation, and skill-building that help you move from the classroom to real-world problem-solving.

You’ll study the complex causes and consequences of human civilization’s impact on the planet from diverse academic perspectives. At the same time, you’ll learn how to apply creative thinking, innovation, cultural knowledge, ethical principles, and scientific know-how to design the just, sustainable, resilient world of the future.

Choosing your path

Susquehanna’s environmental studies curriculum offers many different pathways through the major so you can follow your passions and interests. Foundation courses provide a rigorous backbone of study across the sciences, humanities, and social sciences, but a broad array of electives from 16 different majors give each student the chance to design their own trajectory. That could be advanced work focused in:

• Sciences
• Economics
• Business
• Cultural studies
• Social sciences
• Communications
• Political science

Working closely with your advisor, you’ll create your own individual course of study that puts you on a path to leadership in a variety of careers, from business, finance, and education, to government, the arts, journalism, outdoor recreation, law, politics, and community development.
