Welcome to the Environmental Science Program

Clark’s undergraduate Environmental Science Program draws from the expertise of faculty and departments from across campus, addressing the physical, biological, geographical, and management and policy aspects of the natural environment. As a major or minor in this interdisciplinary program, you will examine environmental challenges from all academic perspectives — the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities — and from the perspective of action and change.
