Sure, I can definitely point out a couple institutions situated close to your area in Newton, MA.

One that immediately comes to mind is Boston College. While it's primarily known for its strong programs in business, nursing, and psychology, it also has a robust Environmental Studies major where you can concentrate in areas like Environmental Policy and Science. The program incorporates cross-disciplinary training and study-abroad opportunities to truly broaden students' understanding of environmental science.

Lasell University, also located in Newton, offers an Environmental Studies program. This is known for its highly individualized curriculum where you can choose to focus on environmental justice, policy, science, etc. based on your individual interests and career goals.

While not technically in Newton, Brandeis University in nearby Waltham also has a notable Environmental Studies program. Their curriculum incorporates the physical sciences, social sciences, and the humanities, providing a holistic examination of environmental issues.

Do make sure to visit each of these schools, if possible, to get a hands-on sense about their programs, facilities, and the campus culture. Additionally, speaking to current students or faculty in their Environmental Studies departments could also shed more light on what you could expect from each program. Good luck with your search!
