in the environmental studies program, students will critically analyze key issues such as sustainability, pollution, poverty, biodiversity, and resource use, with the goal of equipping them with the knowledge and skills needed to help find effective and just solutions to the world's current environmental challenges. pace's interdisciplinary approach provides the educational vehicle to thoroughly examine issues from a variety of perspectives: economic, ethical, political, historical, and scientific.

students will recognize the role humans play in the dynamic between nature and culture, understand environmental issues from different approaches, and develop employable skills in research techniques and problem-solving.

working with community partners, students will have the opportunity to engage in hands-on experiences through course projects, internships, research projects, and community service, tackling environmental issues affecting the region and the world.

students will conduct research with faculty who consist of scientists, geographers, philosophers, sociologists, and anthropologists concerned with the interaction between humans and the natural world.
