Leveraging the strengths of a top-tier university, it focuses on hands-on learning by connecting students with businesses, nonprofits, and local communities to tackle real challenges. Students craft their own educational path, transforming our campus, surrounding urban areas, and California's diverse ecosystems into active learning spaces. Upon completing the program, 80% of graduates enter environmental careers, while others apply their knowledge to fields like social sciences, business, and creative arts.
The academic curriculum builds a strong foundation in physical and life sciences, covering chemistry, biology, math, and physics. Recognizing that environmental challenges intersect with human systems, all students complete coursework in social sciences and humanities—studying areas like policy-making, political science, media studies, and ethics. This comprehensive approach is made possible through collaborations with various university departments, equipping graduates to address the planet's most urgent environmental concerns.
