Interdisciplinary Environmental Studies (ES) Program

The Howard University Interdisciplinary Environmental Studies (ES) program prepares students for leadership positions in environmental research, education, and outreach that emphasizes the need to fully incorporate environmental justice into the development and implementation of environmental solutions. This program focuses on environmental problems currently plaguing our nation and the global community, but pays particular attention to issues disproportionately affecting people of color. Issues such as climate change and toxic exposures require leadership and solutions that include the full diversity of all peoples. Howard University is uniquely positioned to train and educate students for this challenge.
