The School of Environment & Sustainability educates visionary, pragmatic leaders in a collaborative setting grounded in academic excellence and principles of environmental justice and sustainability. As the home of the oldest program in Environmental Studies in the United States, it remains an innovator in environmental thinking. The School of Environment & Sustainability integrates the natural sciences, social sciences, and the humanities to focus on social and environmental justice through resource management, education, conservation, and community partnership. Inquiry-based service learning and research are Antioch’s essential tools for engaging in local, regional and international environmental challenges.
Our geographical range gives students an opportunity to engage with diverse communities, systems, and ecologies in programs that lead to advanced degrees supporting careers in environmental leadership. Concentrations in Advocacy for Social Justice and Sustainability, Conservation Biology, Environmental Education, and Sustainable Development, with certificates in Climate Change Education and Communication, Climate Resilience, Conservation Psychology, Food Justice, Global Information Systems, and Socially Responsible Organizational Leadership prepare graduates for meaningful work for a sustainable future. Our doctoral program supports immersion in research questions that arise from integrating professional experience and scholarship. Faculty in the School of Environment & Sustainability are committed to building skills and knowledge through student-centered experiential learning. You’ll find our faculty working alongside students in the field and in the classroom, digging soil pits, mapping forest composition, tracking wildlife, writing regulatory policies, developing advocacy campaigns, and teaching.
