<p>What are the best colleges in the U.S. for environmental science? I am more interested in working with wildlife, national parks, or conservation rather than cleaning water or the air. I’m looking for a college that will help me to get a job.</p>
<p>Duke is the first school that comes to mind. I’ll have to do some searching and get back to you.</p>
<p>NC State University
[Department</a> of Forestry and Environmental Resources](<a href=“http://cnr.ncsu.edu/fer/]Department”>Forestry and Environmental Resources)</p>
<p>Look at just about any state land grant school. ‘Prestige’ of the school matters little in that field but getting great experiences as an undegrad is most important. I would choose a school near a location where you would like to live.</p>
<p>My brother has a degree in fish and wildlife biology. He spent his summers as a college student doing research/work in Iowa, Utah, Colorado, and California. Since then he has worked all over the country in various conservation/wildlife/park type jobs.</p>
<p>Typical majors to look at include fish and wildlife biology, natural resource restoration and managment, forestry, and a host of other names. I doubt that environmental science as a major is what you are looking for.</p>
