Environmental Studies & Sustainability

Drew university offers nationally recognized, cross-disciplinary programs of study in the environmental sciences and in environmental studies and sustainability. our curriculum integrates the sciences with the social sciences, humanities, and the arts, and exemplifies drew university’s academic and community identity. supported by a generous grant from the andrew mellon foundation, our program offers both a bs in environmental science and a ba in environmental studies and sustainability, which are unique in their emphasis on our local ecology, cultures, and collaborative practices. the bs in environmental science provides students a solid grounding in environmental science, as students take courses across science disciplines with a focus on environmental problems. the ba in environmental studies and sustainability provides students with an understanding of environmental issues from a range of perspectives across disciplines.
