Environmental Studies is the body of knowledge related to the interactions between people and the natural world and is an important ingredient of a liberal education. Dartmouth's interdisciplinary Environmental Studies Program is among the oldest in the country, founded in 1970 in response to a wave of environmental activism. The principal mission of the Environmental Studies Program is to investigate and teach about natural and social systems and provide students with the opportunity to assess the complexity of environmental problems and understand how to search for solutions to these problems.
