I'm all about environmental science and thinking of studying in Wisconsin. Where should I look if I want a strong program in this field?
If you're interested in pursuing Environmental Science in Wisconsin, there are several strong programs to consider.
University of Wisconsin-Madison (UW-Madison) has an excellent Environmental Science program that leans heavily on research. The program is broad-based but also allows you to choose a degree option that focuses on a particular area of interest. Additionally, UW-Madison's access to resources and faculty who are leaders in their field sets it apart.
Another institution you might consider is the University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point (UWSP). With an entire college dedicated to Natural Resources, UWSP is known for its hands-on approach to environmental sciences.
Lastly, Northland College, a private liberal arts college located in Ashland, emphasizes environmental studies across all its curriculums. Northland has solid resources for fieldwork studies, given its close proximity to Lake Superior and the Chequamegon-Nicolet National Forest.
Of course, the "best" program for you depends on your specific interests, so make sure to do research on classes and faculty and reach out to the departments if you have any questions.
