<p>I agree with Papa Chicken that you have many great options. One thing that may help would be to look for colleges with good geology programs. Geology tends to be the most employable of the core sciences and can make an excellent combination with a second major or minor in environmental science. While most colleges have biology/chemistry/physics, even some very good colleges (e.g. Emory, Georgetown, CMU, etc.) don’t offer geology, so it could work as a limiting factor. </p>

<p>Putting in a shameless plug for my alma mater, the Nicholas School of the Environment at Duke is dedicated to environmental science, policy, and conservation and offers several great undergraduate programs. It’s ranked #2 for environmental policy (behind Indiana U) at the graduate level, and environmental science is also quite strong. Perhaps just as important, Duke practices what it preaches, and it’s regularly ranked by various organizations as one of the greenest colleges in the country.</p>

<p>Bowdoin definitely deserves a shout out as well. I’ve always been extremely impressed by its emphasis on the environment, and its location is great for research.</p>
