The College of the Atlantic is. </p>

<p>It offers only one major, Human Ecology, but you can do pretty much anything with it – students study everything from the arts to marine science.</p>

<p>It’s also extremely environmentally conscious and is the ONLY college in the US that’s carbon neutral. It even has composting toilets. Yale and Stanford teach environmental science, but COA lives it. :)</p>
