We are an undergraduate environmental studies academic program at Tufts University.
The Environmental Studies Program (ENVS) is a multidisciplinary undergraduate program dedicated to: studying our natural surroundings; designs that minimize degradation of those surroundings; and providing the social and political tools to preserve and improve the environment. The program trains students in social sciences, natural sciences, engineering, and humanities.
We offer 5 track majors, including Environmental Science; Sustainability, Policy and Equity; Environmental Communications: Food Systems and the Environment; and a Self-Designed major with Advisor. We also offer an Environmental Science and Policy minor specific for Engineering students.
In addition to our academic programs, ENVS has a weekly Lunch & Learn Lecture series that is open to students, faculty, staff, and the public; and we periodically have major traveling lecturers, specialized informations sessions for student job seekers, and publish a bi-monthly environmental newsletter. Student videos and artwork can be viewed on our YouTube, Vimeo and Flicker sites.

We use a multidisciplinary curriculum exposing students to theoretical and practical approaches to environmental work. Broadly, our goal is to empower student navigation across scientific, social, and humanistic fields, preparing them for collaborative decision making, continued learning, career development, or proximate work in advocacy, consulting, government, law, and education.
