Connecting knowledge to action
Our dynamic learning atmosphere and academic culture go beyond purely technical work to provide deep analysis and transformative solutions. We develop next-generation leaders through engaged and active learning that connects students with field experiences as we work to solve entrenched and emergent problems all around the globe.
Our academic programs equip students to lead in sustainability, development and environmental stewardship. Students engage in experiential learning, fieldwork and global partnerships — developing the skills to drive change across sectors and scales.

Undergraduate programs
Tackle challenges as diverse as the world itself. Students engage with real-world issues at home and abroad to deliver lasting social benefit to all. We connect science to the needs of people to improve lives, reduce inequality, protect the environment and actually change the world for the better.
Graduate programs
Our core mission is to create knowledge and facilitate learning to improve society’s stewardship of the environment and promote a conservation ethos for a sustainable planet. We foster a strong sense of community within our graduate fields, which include faculty and graduate students from within the Ashley School and across Cornell University.
