<p>University of Oregon in Eugene would be a good possibility. The environmental sciences program has a good reputation, the entire population of Eugene is exceptionally ‘green aware,’ and its a nice college town with decent weather.</p>

<p>Forgot to mention that Bowdoin has the best environmental sciences program among the LACs that we looks at. </p>

<p>Be forewarned that you need a solid science background to have a successful career in this field. It’s not enough to do a lot of ‘soft’ policy-related, applied classwork.</p>
