Students with Faculty at Dept. of Energy Solar Fair, Washington DC
At a time when the world’s economies are being greened to address climate change and sustainability, our B.A. major or minor gives you an edge in almost any profession.
Our program, located on the Rose Hill and Lincoln Center campuses, offers you the opportunity to explore current environmental problems such as climate change, species extinction, and environmental justice from the perspective of their societal causes, effects, and solutions in government, law, economics, business, education, design, media, ethics, religion, public organizations, and the lives of individual citizens.
The program merges the natural sciences, social sciences, humanities, professional internships and independent thesis research into a comprehensive, rigorous curriculum, which is tailored in the senior year to the interests of the individual student preparing for professional employment or graduate studies.
Located in New York City—one of the most vibrant centers of urban ecology and environmental education in the world—our program allows students to gain invaluable professional experience at environmental organizations such as Wildlife Conservation Society (Bronx Zoo), New York Botanical Garden, American Museum of Natural History, United Nations, Bronx River Alliance, Nature Network: NY-NJ-CT, and Environmental Consortium of Hudson River Colleges and Universities, as well as in study abroad programs from the Caribbean to Africa.
Recent graduates have gone on to successful careers with Gateway National Park, environmental engineering firm CA Rich Consultants, Bronx Borough government, Bronx River Alliance, and environmental law firms. Others have been accepted to graduate programs at schools like Yale, Columbia, and Pace.
We collaborate with the club Students for Environmental Protection and Awareness which promotes sustainability on campus and environmental community service projects off campus, as well as with the Fordham University Sustainability Plan.
Our program reflects Fordham University’s mission of "men and women for others” and "respect for the environment" in that our students are given the opportunity to serve the greater good in the areas of environmental literacy, citizenship, stewardship, sustainable development, and environmental justice, effecting positive change in a world governed by complex scientific, economic, political, and ethical interactions and processes.
We invite you to join our program and find your educational, career path.
