A successful applicant could have a background in any of public policy, sociology, anthropology, geography, sustainability science, or a related social science discipline.

The department offers majors in Environmental Policy, Environmental Science, and Environmental Computation. Core faculty include multi- and interdisciplinary scholars from diverse disciplines and more than two dozen affiliated faculty from other departments. The department engages in basic and applied environmental research and advocacy at the local, regional and global scale. The ES department works closely with Colby institutes including the Buck Lab for Climate and Environment, the Davis Institute for Artificial Intelligence, the Goldfarb Center for Public Affairs, and the Oak Institute for Human Rights. The ES department also collaborates with numerous off-campus partners, including the Bigelow Labs for Ocean Sciences, the 7 Lakes Alliance, and numerous state or federal environmental agencies. Colby has observer status with the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change and the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) where we annually send a delegation of faculty and students. In 2013 Colby was the fourth college or university in the United States to declare net zero carbon emissions. Colby’s ongoing efforts towards sustainability includes green building development and significant resources for student environmental research, civic engagement, and internships.
