All of us are concerned about the future of the planet. How can we face the future with increasing population, limited resources, decreasing biodiversity and ever increasing amounts of domestic and hazardous waste? At Sweet Briar College, the Department of Environmental Studies teaches you skills to impact environmental issues at the local, national, and international levels. You can create positive change in the world and help to solve issues that are crucial to all forms of life on our planet. Whether you are interested in environmental law and policy, sustainability, philosophy, environmental writing, or studying the biology, chemistry, and geology of the environment, Sweet Briar is your college of choice. Unlike many other colleges, Sweet Briar's environmental programs are housed in one department. You aren't just taking a set of courses that other departments happen to offer, but are taking part in a program carefully designed to provide you with a structured, multidisciplinary approach to solving environmental problems. This department's faculty believes strongly in preparing you for the Monday after the Saturday that you graduate - in other words, expect to graduate with the intellectual and practical skills you need for graduate or professional studies, employment in the public or private sector, or to just be more environmentally aware during the course of whatever life choices you make.
Why consider Sweet Briar as you search the country for colleges with excellent environmental programs? That's easy - Sweet Briar College was made for this! From our academic programs, ranked 14th in the country for best overall academic experience by the Princeton Review, to our 3,250 acre campus, ranked 5th in the country for most beautiful campus, this is the place for bright, energetic young women to fulfill their potential as environmental leaders of the future.
