Welcome

At Texas A&M University, you will join a community of scholars and leaders -- students, faculty and former students dedicated to preparing Aggie leaders for the challenges of tomorrow. We are determined to secure a healthier, more sustainable and more livable world and we stand together, fearlessly, on the front lines of society’s greatest obstacles to growth and prosperity.  In the College of Arts & Sciences Environmental Programs you will have a number of unique and exciting advantages over the course of your education.

• A tight-knit community. ENVP majors enjoy many small class experiences while accessing the resources of a large college. Students get to know their classmates and professors from their first experiences in freshman seminars through a research-intensive capstone course.

• Individualized academic advising. Majors receive academic and professional counseling throughout their time in the program. On average, ENVP students have at least eight one-on-one advising sessions.

• Experiences beyond the classroom. You will have opportunities to learn outside of the classroom walls, including study abroad in places like the U.K. and Costa Rica, summer internships in the environmental field for academic credit.

• Hands-on research experiences. Our faculty guide students in hands-on field research experiences to apply and develop their skills. Students can find an array of exciting research opportunities, from measuring air pollution in Houston, to navigating autonomous underwater vehicles (AUV) in the ocean, to exploring cloud forests in Costa Rica, to collecting speleothems from caves in central Texas.

• Building networks and community. ENVP students hone leadership skills and build relationships through our student environmental organizations. Through these clubs, career panels, student career services, and other networking events, ENVP students connect to a supportive professional community that will benefit them long after graduation.

Our primary goal is to provide our students with an education that prepares them to enter and succeed in the workforce or graduate school. The ENVP curriculum and classes are constantly being reviewed by former students working in the environmental fields to ensure our students can meet the demands of a wide range of employers across virtually all sectors of businesses and governmental organizations. We encourage you to explore our website to learn more about the Environmental Program and the exciting work that we are doing inside and outside of the classroom.
