An Iowa College in the Liberal Arts Tradition
Exploring solutions to environmental challenges.
Why Pursue Environmental Studies at Luther?
Passionate faculty explore human connections to the natural world from diverse perspectives: science, policy, culture, and values.
Students assess and solve real-world problems, developing essential skills for the workplace, graduate school, and for creating sustainable communities.
Internships, research, and study away experiences engage students in the larger world, from working in a senate office in Washington, DC to conducting soil health analyses on northeast Iowa farms.
We'd love to meet you in person.
