<p>I was all set to pack my bags and move to NC but then today I received an email from dean of JHU about a new major in "global environmental change and sustainability". Earth</a> and Planetary Sciences Home Page</p>

<p>I am premed with a major in an environmental science program. I have never heard of JHU bragging about going green the way Princeton does or presenting and publishing research on environmental change like Duke has at AAAS conferences. </p>

<p>Do you think JHU is just trying to follow the trends or is really beginning to develop a strong program in environmental leadership? </p>

<p>Thank you kindly...</p>

<p>JHU is ranked 3rd in the country for Environmental Engineering. It’s a huge part of JHU.</p>

<p>Also, there has been a huge student effort over the last 2 years on sustainability, climate change, energy policy etc - [Hopkins</a> Energy Action Team](<a href=“http://www.jhu.edu/heat/]Hopkins”>http://www.jhu.edu/heat/)</p>

<p>It’s always a good idea to see which colleges practice what they preach. </p>

<p>It’s my impression that Yale, Stanford, and Duke are far and away the best for environmental science and policy. It’s good that Hopkins is reaffirming a niche in the field. The more the better. :)</p>
