Undergraduate Programs

The Program in the Environment (PitE) offers both a broad liberal arts education in environmental topics and the opportunity for students to pursue various lines of individual interest in considerable depth. Fundamentally, PitE’s curriculum focuses on the complex interactions of human beings and their environment. To understand these interactions and learn how to create more rational and equitable forms of human habitation on this planet, PitE students develop a multidisciplinary perspective integrating the methods and approaches of the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities.
Accelerated Master’s Degrees

The Accelerated Master’s Degree (AMD) program through PitE and SEAS is a Master’s program for qualifed Environment majors. There are two Accelerated Master's Degree programs open to undergraduates majoring in Environment:
- Master of Science in Environment and Sustainability (MS) - Normally a 2 year program - 42 credits
- Master of Landscape Architecture (MLA) - Normally a 3 year program - 44 credits
Fifth-Year Master's program
