Environmental Studies
& Sustainability
at Drew University
|
Environmental sustainability and ecological integrity are increasingly central to Drew University's academic and community identity. New sustainability initiatives build on Drew's prominence for campus forest preservation. The major in Environmental Studies and Sustainability, supported by a generous grant from the Andrew Mellon Foundation, is unusual for its emphasis on sustainability & solutions. The program is flexible so students can tailor the course of study to their own interests; or they can choose a more specialized option in environmental science or environmental sustainability. Internships and research experiences prepare graduates for careers in environmental advocacy, education, consulting, and science. See links below for info.
