| Linfield College | Environmental Studies | Environmental Studies is an interdisciplinary study that centers on the relationships between humans and the planet Earth. It seeks to help students develop a deep awareness of the complex, highly dynamic nature of the world we inhabit, including interactions among human populations, the biological and physical environments, resources, technology, social organization and culture. The portion of the planet we occupy in the Pacific Northwest is exceptionally diverse for its latitude and affords rich opportunities for study and involvement. |
| Oregon State University | Environmental Sciences | Environmental sciences are central to the mission of Oregon State University - a university with extensive programs related to the environment and wide use of natural resources. OSU is only one of two U.S. universities recognized as a land-, sea-, space- and sun-grant institution. OSU has exceptional strength in many of the disciplines that are required to provide a high-quality interdisciplinary education for future environmental scientists and to provide continuing post-graduate education to scientists who are already active in the field. The Environmental Sciences Program builds on these institutional strengths offering a BS degree, a MS degree, and a Ph.D. |
| Pacific University | Environmental Studies | The sustainable design major at Pacific University is an interdisciplinary program emphasizing designing solutions to environmental problems. Students combine the fundamentals of ecology and permaculture with the social sciences and humanities as they seek global solutions to complex challenges. Students spend time working at Pacific’s B Street Living Museum, a learning lab for sustainability, and exploring topics such as organic food production, green building design and education. |

| Southern Oregon University | Environmental Studies | Environmental Studies is the investigation and body of knowledge related to the dynamic interactions between people and natural systems. At SOU, the Environmental Studies major provides the opportunity to develop an understanding of the complexity of natural systems, natural resource use and sustainability enabling students to appreciate and solve dynamic environmental issues. In Environmental Studies, students will research and address such global issues as climate change, water resource management, energy use, sustainable development, and the conservation of biodiversity. |
| University of Oregon | Environmental Science | The environmental science major is heavily focused on the physical sciences. You will become grounded in at least three natural-science disciplines—choosing from among biology, geology, chemistry, data analysis, and physical geography—as well as mathematics. You will have considerable latitude in designing your course of study, combining theory and practice with hands-on involvement and a detailed concentration on your own specific interests. |
| University of Portland | Environmental Studies | The environmental studies department is for students who want to engage with the most pressing issues of the 21st century, including mitigating global climate change, protecting freshwater supplies, achieving sustainable agriculture, and reducing pollution.
