Help develop solutions needed for a healthy planet and sustainable living with a degree in Environmental Studies

NSCC’s Environmental Studies Program focuses on today’s environmental issues from multiple perspectives and defines personal and collective solutions needed to address local, regional and global challenges. Since environmental problems are complex, the program provides a broad range of liberal arts experiences in two Pathways - Environmental Advocacy and Environmental Science - leading to lifelong awareness of sustainability issues that connect the environment, economy, and society.
