Academics

ESF stands apart from the rest with a focus on experiential learning that prepares students to make an immediate impact in their communities and around the world. ESF students learn in the classroom and labs, out in the field, and by completing internships. 

We're dedicated to improving the environment and creating a sustainable future for our world through a network of skilled and committed graduates. We offer a variety of academic programs for students interested in sustainability and the science, engineering, design, policy, communication, and management of natural resources and the environment.

In addition to this, our close and unique partnership with Syracuse University provides ESF students with the best of both worlds: a tight-knit academic community at ESF and a large university experience on the campus — literally — right across the street. Studying at ESF, students have the opportunity to affiliate with two highly acclaimed collegiate institutions and all the opportunities they provide rolled up into one degree.
