The university's environmental program, known nationally for its interdisciplinary approach, engages student in local and international internships; immerses them in course work, sometimes in far-flung reaches of the world; and intimately exposes them to faculty in such varied pursuits as environmental law and policy, restoration ecology and ecofeminism. Vermont's landscape, accessibility, government and non-profit organizations give students unrivaled chances to engage in research and then develop and promote policy initiatives.
