<p>Hi,
I have been reading through most of the threads about the best Environmental Science programs in the nation but most of them are either on the east coast or west coast. I was wondering if there were any good environmental science programs within the midwest.
Thank you for your time and i am sorry if i repeated another thread, i just could not find it.

<p>Northwestern has a nice env science program:
[Environmental</a> Science, Engineering and Policy (ESEP)](<a href=“Program in Environmental Sciences - Northwestern University”>Program in Environmental Sciences - Northwestern University)</p>
<p>yes i have heard the same thing. I am sorry i did not specify, i need a school that is a little easier to get into. haha i have a high GPA but my ACT score is not good. i got a 24 and that is not good enough to get into a school like Northwestern.</p>
<p>Are you in-state for Michigan? U-M also has an environmental studies program. I’m sure Michigan State University has a good program too.</p>
<p>UMinnesota</p>
<p>I would probably also check out Wisconsin-Madison and see what they offer.</p>
<p>Environmental Science means different things at different schools. There’s Biology-Ecology based and then there’s Geological/Earth Science, to name a few.</p>
<p>In the midwest I’d look at these colleges;</p>
<p>Beloit College
Macalester College
Ohio Wesleyan University
College of Wooster
Case Western Reserve
U of Wisconsin-Madison
U of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
U of Missouri-Columbia
Missouri University of Technology & Science</p>
<p>I am looking for an undergrad college for bachelor of science in geology and am limited to only colleges in missouri or southern illinios university(SIU), I was looking as these schools:
MO State Univesity, Mizzou, Missouri S&T, and SIU</p>
<p>I happened to see your post and was wondering if you knew about the quality of the geology programs in these schools? I’ve been trying to compare but just don’t know which one is more solid so that I can get into a good grad school later on. Do you happen to be experienced/knowledgable in geology, if so any advice about the programs or about choosing?</p>
<p>G204eo- yes, I am a geologist, but unfortunately can’t offer too much in discerning these schools. As a geo hirer, I am familar enough with SIU to know that their geo program is good, and I presume Missou, as the flagship state school, would be good, but do not know the others. I suggest you peruse the faculty pages to understand the breadth & depth of what each department has to offer.</p>
<p>In response to the above I’m not sure why no one’s mentioned IU and SPEA (School of Public and Environmental Affairs), which is one of the top-ranked programs for environmental policy and environmental science at the grad level, and the undergrads have much of the same faculty (since there’s no similar ranking for undergrad programs). </p>
<p>[Welcome</a> | SPEA - School of Public and Environmental Affairs | Indiana University Bloomington](<a href=“Indiana University Bloomington”>Indiana University Bloomington).</p>
<p>Most of the Big Ten schools offer the best environmental programs middle America. I would check out your local flagship.</p>
