ESF is the only U.S. institution of higher learning dedicated solely to the study of the environment. From the basic and applied sciences to engineering, design, and planning of both natural and human communities, we help prepare leaders and collaborators.
The Graduate School at ESF is committed to sustained learning, action and accountability to continually improve our environment for equity, diversity, justice and access.
