Environmental Studies Program

In the USC Dornsife Environmental Studies program, students train to become creative and effective environmental leaders while gaining a deep understanding of the complex and multi-faceted environmental challenges our planet faces. Part of the Wrigley Institute for Environmental Studies and Sustainability, the program connects students with meaningful and awe-inspiring field experiences — many based at the Wrigley Marine Science Center on Catalina Island. By exploring new scientific innovations, as well as strategies to motivate critical change, students learn how to create meaningful environmental impact and take ownership of our collective future.
