Division of
Environmental Science

The Division of Environmental Science at ESF offers interdisciplinary undergraduate and graduate degree programs that introduce students to a diverse array of courses and excellent facilities for research and field studies. The faculty members who deliver the program perform teaching, research, and public service activities to promote environmental practices that improve the lives of people within New York and around the world, offering a level of expertise that is rarely found at other colleges.

The division's objectives are to prepare students who:

• Will enter advanced academic studies involved with any of the many aspects of environmental science
• Will engage in environmental work while employed by government agencies and industries or in private consulting jobs that specialize in public works and the inventory, management, design, use, restoration, and protection of natural and cultural resources
• Will continue to develop the knowledge and skills needed to adapt to changing technological, environmental and business conditions to the benefit of society, employer and self
