Environmental Studies students focus on the societal causes of impacts to our air, water, and land in order to find and employ actionable solutions. Students take an interdisciplinary approach combining topics such as ecology, sociology, political science, and even business or art to both seek a range of perspectives and to pursue your passions, all while preparing for a career in reversing the impacts of climate change and sustaining the earth and its people. The Saint Michael's campus is nestled into the Lake Champlain basin and Green Mountains abutting a 340-acre natural area and organic garden.
