The Environmental Design program provides a sound theoretical understanding of both environmental and human issues as a foundation of knowledge for a wide range of design and planning fields.

There is a demand, locally and globally, for concerned and knowledgeable individuals to enter the environmental design professions, and to oversee and direct the building of beautiful and sustainable places in which to work and live. People from a wide range of design and planning fields—architects and landscape architects, lawyers, horticulturists, educators, private citizens on town zoning boards—are involved in this decision-making process to humanize cities, protect farm land, and conserve significant landscape resources.

Through the four concentration options, the program provides historical, theoretical, and professional perspectives in the liberal arts and science fields, emphasizing environmental issues. This training enables graduates of the program to make informed and effective planning and design decisions that can have a lasting impact on the built and natural environments.
