The School of Earth Sciences and Environmental Sustainability (SESES) is the new home for environmental programs. We offer undergraduate degree programs in environmental sciences and environmental studies, and graduate degree programs in environmental sciences and policy, climate science and solutions, and quaternary sciences at NAU.
In Environmental Programs we take the approach that to be educated about the environment one must be educated about the world. Our students examine all aspects of ecosystems at a variety of different scales and from the perspectives of not only the natural and social sciences, but also the humanities.
We teach students how to solve environmental problems for careers in research, industry, education, government, or public service. Our programs are organized to ground students in how the Earth and environmental systems operate, but also provides them the experience and knowledge of how management and policy works so students can translate that science to appropriate decision making processes.
