ESF is one of the nation's premier colleges focused on the study of the environment, developing renewable technologies, and building a sustainable future. We work to address the Earth’s most pressing problems — and students come here because they want to be part of the solution. Our students, faculty, staff, and alumni make a global impact improving and sustaining the environment. We offer a world-class education among a close-knit community of more than 2,000 scholars with common values and a shared sense of purpose.
For the past century, we’ve been educating, training, and supporting environmental champions, planet protectors, and sustainability advocates to understand, adapt to, mitigate, and build resilience in the face of environmental issues facing our planet.
If you’re passionate about improving our world, ESF can provide you with the academic foundation you need to prepare for a rewarding career. You’ll learn through a variety of ways: in the classroom, lab, or studio; out in the field; through study-abroad programs and internships; and from your faculty, peers, and the community.
Our work has never been more important, our research has never been more needed, and our students have never been more valuable upon their graduation.
