The College and Graduate School of Arts & Sciences provide students and faculty with a rich environment to tackle the multifaceted environmental crisis facing our planet. Arts & Sciences researchers\u2014both students and faculty\u2014take advantage of cutting-edge laboratories and interact with leading thinkers in the fields of geology, environmental science, biology, and other disciplines. Through collaborations with other schools at BU, our researchers generate new ideas and new solutions to environmental challenges.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, students, staff, and faculty all do their part to recycle, conserve paper and electricity, and further BU\u2019s green mission.<\/p>\n
Arts & Sciences students and faculty explore the full spectrum of environmental issues, from public policy to cutting-edge scientific research. Feel free to browse through our course offerings below, or check out BU\u2019s innovative, environmentally-focused study abroad opportunities, degree programs, and research groups.<\/p>\n

Operated in collaboration with La Universidad San Francisco de Quito (USFQ), the program is ideal for biology and environmental science majors interested in getting hands-on field research experience. TEP students travel from the capital city of Quito to the Pacific Coast, the Galapagos Islands, and the remote Amazonian rainforest.<\/p>\n Through the Washington, DC, Internship Program<\/a>, students live and work for a semester as interns in the policy-making atmosphere of the nation\u2019s capital. Students take courses in policy-making that give them an insider\u2019s look at how policies are formulated in the federal government. Internships with congressional committees, the executive branch, or nonprofit groups provide practical experience.<\/p>\n The School for Field Studies (SFS)<\/a> conducts semester and summer programs in international environmental field study. Programs are conducted at international centers in Kenya, Costa Rica, Australia, Mexico, and the Turks and Caicos Islands. Issues addressed by the School for Field Studies centers include Wildlife Ecology and Management, Sustainable Development, Tropical Rainforest Management, and Marine Resources Management.
