Environmental Science & Sustainability

The Environmental Science and Sustainability Department at Drake University is an interdisciplinary program with a diverse, integrated education, and extensive field experience designed to support you to succeed in today's complex world.

Our goal is to immerse you in a multifaceted experience where you will learn about science, policy, economics, ecology, and conservation in the classroom and in the field, but where you can also get to know your professors, engage in research for publication in scientific journals, study in the rainforest, burn prairies to control invasive species, and, yes, change the world.
