<p>I'm a junior, and I'm really interested in studying either Environmental Studies or Environmental Science. I would prefer a school with Environmental Studies, but am open to focusing more on the science part. </p>
<p>I consider myself fairly competitive, but I'll give you my stats and you can decide for yourself. 34 ACT. about a 3.6 unweighted, 4.2 weighted. NMF. Editor of Newspaper, Captain of Cross Country. A handful of other extracurriculars. </p>
<p>I'd love your ideas on who has the best Environmental Studies and Environmental Science programs! While I would prefer a midsize university near a city, please refer me to any school regardless of size and location, that has a GOOD program (I can easily find schools that have "A" program, but I would love CC'ers help finding GOOD ones)</p>
<p>THanks so much</p>
<p>Look into the University of Colorado at Boulder, very good enviromental studies school.</p>
<p>Thanks for the uc boulder recommendation… If anyone else has other ideas I’d love to hear them! Ideally, id like to be east coast though… </p>
<p>Also, if I’m interested in environmental law and/or policy as a career would I be better off with an undergrad in environmental studies or environemtal science?</p>
<p>Thanks for all of you guys help in advance!!</p>
<p>Middlebury College. First undergrad Environmental Studies program in the U.S. Very popular major, fantastic program.</p>
<p>Thanks swimmingjew… does anyone (like US News or some group of Environmental Lawyers/policy makers/professors/ etc) come out with a rankings list of environmental studies… I’m NOT obsessed at all with ivy status like many people on here, but I think it is fair to look for someone official’s ranking of this. please pass on any site!! thanks for all of you guys’ help!!</p>
<p>Look at Huxley College of WWU in Bellingham, Wa. Different world up there. Gorgeous campus. 90 minute drive to Seattle. Vancouver and Victoria BC a short drive (and/or ferry). One of my son’s went to Princeton, the other to WWU. I preferred WWU. Kids and faculty and administration very friendly and open.</p>
<p>“I think it is fair to look for someone official’s ranking of this.”</p>
<p>What’s an “official’s ranking?” There are rankings by magazine editors, and others. </p>
<p>Reed has recently added an Environmental Studies major: [Reed</a> College | Environmental Studies | Home](<a href=“http://academic.reed.edu/es/]Reed”>Environmental Studies - Reed College)</p>
<p>magazine editors are official enough. Will you post that link, vossron?</p>
<p>Sorry, I just meant USN&WR in general, but I don’t know of any ranked lists of environmental studies. Sorry to mislead…</p>
<p>ah gotcha. no problem… but if anyone else has found an e.s. ranking, I would greatly appreciate it.</p>
<p>I’m really liking Tufts University. Does anyone know how strong their environmental studies program is?</p>
<p>College of the Atlantic would be a great safety- they’re all about the environment.</p>
<p>McGill university in Montreal, if youre willing to study outside of the US</p>
<p>they have a huge enviro facility and the school is cheap</p>
<p>Huxley college at WWU as mentioned above. I know a good deal about it, message me if you have questions.</p>
<p>Thanks for the CoA mention… I’ll definitely look into that. If anyone has any info on the Tufts Dartmouth or Williams programs, I’d greatly appreciate it</p>
