Lead with your knowledge of sustainability
If your passion for the planet goes above and beyond your own carbon footprint, consider a degree in the environmental field. The Center for Environmental Research and Education (CERE) is dedicated to providing an education that aligns with the values of the integrative bottom line as well as the United Nation's Seventeen Sustainable Development Goals, which recognize that “ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality and spur economic growth –all while tackling climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests.” Our students gain a diverse and practical skillset in science, communication, critical thinking and leadership, enabling them to tackle any issue affecting our land, air and water systems. Technical abilities and effective communication are emphasized in preparation for successful careers and graduate studies.
