Best Environmental Policy Undergrads?

There are very few, if any, colleges that are stronger than Duke in public policy, environmental science, and environmental policy, especially at the undergrad level. (For full disclosure, I majored in Earth & Ocean Sciences at Duke, so I’m admittedly a bit biased.) Unfortunately, Duke is a reach for virtually everyone these days.

Although pub pol and environmental science majors are enrolled in the undergrad college of arts & sciences (Trinity), the undergraduate programs are housed in the schools of public policy (Sanford) and environmental science (Nicholas). Both are top-notch.

That said, I agree with the posters above that there many colleges that would provide perfectly good preparation for a career in environmental policy. Much depends on your stats and what you can afford.
