Experiential Learning
At YSE, education and training extend well beyond the classroom. Participate in our unique summer orientation program, MODs; travel widely for field research and internships; attend global conferences and climate talks such as the U.N. Climate Change Conference (COP 26).

Acclaimed Faculty
Working closely with some of the top experts in their fields is one of the advantages of a YSE graduate degree. Our faculty are committed to mentoring the next generation of environmental leaders to tackle the world’s most urgent problems.
I grew up as an undocumented immigrant. Through YSE’s dual-degree program, I am fulfilling my dream of becoming an environmental lawyer to protect families like mine from climate change displacement.”
