BIG NEWS! THE ENST PROGRAM IS NOW A DEPARTMENT, AS OF SPRING 2021

The department will be under construction for awhile, as we use the opportunity to revisit our mission and identity. Until then, the current curriculum remains the same. One big change is that the Environment and Community MA program is now located within the ENST Department, and affiliated faculty of the two programs are now merged. Stay tuned for more updates.

Words from our Alumni

After finishing the Environmental Studies program, I moved to Portland, Oregon to intern at Metro, a regional government and metropolitan planning organization. I am working on the GIS and cartographic applications of the Regional Transportation Plan, one which focuses on improving aspects of safety, reliability and accessibility of transportation in the Portland Metropolitan region. One of my passions is using cartography to work towards a healthy and just world, and by having Metro focus on providing equal access to safe and sustainable transportation utilizes and excites my passion. The Environmental Studies program provided me with the knowledge on aspects of environmental inequality and the passion to continue working towards a world I would like to see.

Paige Williams, 2016

Everyday I really am thinking about my impact on the environment and the people. ... The passion and energy [ENST faculty] put into my education was not wasted a bit. I absorbed every drop and will be passing it along. ... I don't know what I will be doing in the distant future, but I will be doing it for the planet and the people before I will ever do it for mine or someone else's selfishness.

Trevor Mahaffey, Class of 2015
