Not my first rodeo, but still need some ideas [environmental studies, 4.0 GPA, 1480 PSAT]

Not sure if anyone mentioned the Claremont schools - but from a Pitzer, who calls their major Environmental Analysis to a Pomona that has the major.

Both are reachier with Pitzer less so and perhaps the SAT will impact - but if you have both a tiny and mid size schools all in one. Edit - I see @merc81 and @goldbug mentioned Pitzer but here are the majors.

Pitzer’s majors are:

  • Choose from four tracks of study: Environment & Society, Environmental Policy, Sustainability & the Built Environment, or Environmental Science.

Since you said off the wall stuff is something to look at, how about Bentley, a bus school in Boston that has terrific career outcomes and has a Sustainability Science degree, that comes with a business minor. Given so many schools use ES as a concurrent major (they’re telling you, ES itself, isn’t enough, this program comes with a business minor required and it might provide necessary skills. Similarly, Babson has a concentration in environmental sustainability, but it’s a business degree. But Bentley and Babson might be better suited from a “career” enhancing POV. It appears Bentley has the major you want with a required business minor whereas Babson is a business major but Sustainability is a concentration within it. Just two that might be a bit off the wall but have better career prospects than the rest. Bentley would seem to fit ES better but I linked both below.

U South Dakota is an odd choice, but i came across them in regards to being one of 21 included in a new Carnegie classification for Sustainability. With wind farms through the midwest, maybe it’s worth a look.

Finally, completely nuts and off the wall but it popped in a top programs look, if the topics were of interest and it has some interests ones like Salmon, People and Place, or a required class in Mammalogy or Ornithology, U of Alaska Fairbanks program in Wildlife Ecology and Society B.A. looks extremely interesting.
