The Environmental Studies Program equips students with the knowledge, tools, and opportunities needed to engage with environmental issues spawned from the dynamics of climate change, ecological degradation, globalization, economic activity, and societal values.

Our Program’s mission is to graduate men and women who are environmentally literate, socially responsible, effective problem solvers and agents of change for the benefit of society, nature, and themselves.

The Program seeks to instill a personal sense of environmental stewardship that includes an appreciation and understanding of sustainability from ecological and socioeconomic perspectives.

Courses in the Program empower students with necessary scientific, technological, and critical thinking skills. Internships and independent research provide opportunities for practical application of acquired knowledge and skills.

Vision Statement

Outside the Classroom

W&J highly values educational experiences that take our students outside of the classroom, such as internships, experiential and service learning, and student-faculty collaborative research that often leads to conference presentations and publications. In addition to activities directly linked to the academic programs Washington and Jefferson College is known for the Magellan Project that provides students with the support and funding necessary to pursue their own self designed summer research projects and the Washington Fellows Program, a selective program for exceptional students who want to challenge themselves in distinctive ways during their years at the College.

Strong Alumni Support

A key strength and resource of the College are its alumni; in addition to financial support, W&J alumni serve as active mentors and networkers for students. For more than 200 years, W&J’s distinguished alumni have been influencing change in business, politics, and the arts and sciences as CEOs, lawyers, state representatives, doctors, researchers, writer and teachers, and in many other equally worthy professions. They are the best examples of an advertisement for the positive trajectories our current students wish to pursue, and they and the members of the Board of Trustees give generously of themselves to help current students.
