As a University Wide Program, our students have the amazing opportunity to interact with award-winning faculty and staff from across the entire university. A rich collaborative culture across 9 different UI colleges gives our students a competitive advantage by working side-by-side with a diverse array of faculty expertise in the environmental sciences. Our approach is to provide you with the breadth and depth of skillsets needed for a rewarding career working towards a more sustainable world.
Established in 1993 as among the first university wide environmental science programs in the country, our many students and alumni make a difference every day through their shared passion for environmental science, management, and stewardship. And they share the bonds made possible by Idaho’s unparalleled outdoor laboratory.
