Environmental Science and Studies

Consistent with the College’s mission, the Environmental Science and Studies (ESS) Program at Spelman recognizes the global changes and responses for attaining a more sustainable environment.

The Program seeks to create a learning environment in which our students can better understand these changes and be given a greater voice in planning for conservation through an interdisciplinary environmental science curriculum that is designed to enhance scientific inquiry and to strengthen scientific competence.
