Interdisciplinary Place-Based Experiential Environmental Education
Our department trains students to see environmental problems from multiple perspectives: scientific, humanistic, political, ethical, cultural, historical, and geographic. Students have opportunities to do original, hands-on, mentored research in the context of science, social values, writing, and economic and political realities. Get involved in research on day one!

Learning By Doing
Student research is a vital part of the undergraduate experience at Ithaca College. Reach out to faculty to find out how to get involved in projects and research!
