The world needs you now—to preserve biodiversity, work for environmental justice, reinvigorate science education, guide communities in planning for climate change, and promote sustainable practices in schools and businesses. The Department of Environmental Studies, with its thirty–year history of delivering visionary, progressive, and interdisciplinary programs, can help you contribute to solving some of today’s complex environmental challenges.
Learn from faculty who love to teach.
Faculty in the Department of Environmental Studies are committed, first and foremost, to creating great learning opportunities. Small class sizes, interactive teaching, and a combined focus on rigor and creativity allow faculty to create a learning environment. You’ll find our faculty working side–by–side with students in the field and in the classroom, digging soil pits, mapping forest composition, tracking wildlife, and creating self-sustaining miniature biospheres.
Are you up for a rigorous program?
Graduate school won’t be easy. You work hard, and your journey is as rewarding as the benefits of your degree. ANE has a reputation for producing some of the brightest scientists, managers, educators, and activists in the field.
Play the field.
Study wolves at Yellowstone, tropical ecology and conservation in Costa Rica, alpine flora in the White Mountains, and forest and tundra ecology on Mount Desert Island. Optional field study trips provide expanded opportunities for learning.
If you can’t apply it, why do it?
Create and install a loon-nesting platform, research the spread of an invasive species, teach ecology at a residential learning center, meet with stakeholders on the siting of a new mall, and student teach AP science classes. Connect theory with practice by completing eight practicum credits in environmental work.

“Antioch is a unique learning and teaching community, where students bring as much to the classroom as they take away, and where we value questions of “why” as well as “how” in relation to our environmental work. Our faculty and students build connections across disciplines and work at the nexus of academia and society. We are an open community, nurturing rich networks of individuals and organizations that bring students to us, help shape our curricula, support practica, and eventually hire our graduates.” — Joy Ackerman, PhD, Department Chair
