• Environmental and Sustainability Studies is an interdisciplinary subject that will challenge you to combine skills and knowledge from a variety of different fields. Students will gain a more complete understanding of natural and human environments, and students will be ready to lead change. Acadia's Environmental and Sustainability Studies (ESST) major develops environmental leaders, managers, and professionals who are critical and insightful thinkers as well as creative problem solvers.
  • We strive for students to become skilled in leading transformational change towards more sustainable, just, and socially responsible lifestyles, communities, institutions and societies through a broad range of career pathways across the non-profit, government and private sectors. Student’s professors are productive and respected researchers and scholars who are fully immersed in solving critical and pressing environmental and sustainability problems as well as creating a stimulating learning setting.
