<p>With the exception of Stanford, I disagree with RML’s post. Earth science and environmental science are not at all the same, and colleges strong in one are not necessarily strong in the other.</p>
<p>Lots of colleges have good environmental science programs. We need more information. What are your stats? How big a college do you want? What can you afford to pay? What are you looking for in a college?</p>
<p>Erin’s Dad stole my favorite suggestion. COA offers everything from marine biology to lichenology to biochemistry, with a tremendous amount of flexibility. The college is quite small (~300 students) and situated in a beautiful setting, although it gets a bit touristy in the summer. Here’s a few others to consider, varying widely in selectivity. </p>
