For those wishing to pursue a career in environment, the Bieler School of Environment aims to stimulate their passion for life-long learning, their confidence in questioning established norms, their ingenuity and openness to new ideas, and their ability to communicate and contribute effectively in all situations. We believe that these goals are best achieved through repeated opportunities to witness, experience, and participate in diverse academic approaches. We believe that individual achievement is maximized by assuming inherent capacity and by recognizing that not all students learn the same way. Finally, we believe that major research achievements emerge out of a dynamic, interactive community where dialogue occurs among engaged students, staff, and faculty from all disciplines. Thus, our approach to learning is student-centered. We strive to achieve a fully integrated, transdisciplinary understanding of problems and solutions to the many and interdependent environmental crises in a manner that bridges the social sciences and humanities with the natural and applied sciences.

The people and the programs of the Bieler School of Environment are described in the following sections.
