SEAS offers the nation’s most customizable and interdisciplinary environmental graduate programs to prepare our students to be leaders and agents of environmental change.
We are happy to share that the Fall 2023 application is now open! To eliminate financial barriers that can discourage qualified applicants, we are waiving the application fee for all applicants and no longer require or accept the GRE for all of our graduate programs.
What makes SEAS unique?
- Our interdisciplinary approach joins natural and social scientists, designers, policy makers, engineers, and other disciplines from across campus. We bring together diverse backgrounds, programs, majors, and student activities to inspire critical thinking and creative problem solving.
- Students will get hands-on experience to transform knowledge into impact. SEAS combines classroom learning with innovative teaching at our impressive network of natural areas, and around the world through individually tailored research projects and internships.
- Students can enjoy all the benefits of a tightly knit community within a world-class research university. You’ll be guided by faculty who are renowned scholars in their fields and join a worldwide community–more than 12,000 strong–of students, alumni, researchers, and partners.
- SEAS has been a pioneer in environmental education for more than a century. We hosted the nation’s first Earth Day in 1970, launched the field of conservation biology in the 1980s, established environmental justice as an academic field in 1990, built a focus on ecological design in landscape architecture in the 1990s, and helped shift business and industry into new modes of pollution prevention and sustainable systems in the 2000s.
Today, we are building on this legacy to tackle the grand challenges of food and water security, climate change, biodiversity loss, and environmentally-damaging growth. Our global community champions bold ideas for a better future.
