Overview

The Nicholas School of the Environment is one of the world’s premier graduate and professional schools for the interdisciplinary study of the environment and the development of pathways for a sustainable future.

Located in the heart of Duke University’s campus, the school functions as an intellectual hub, drawing input from all disciplines at Duke – law, business, policy, medicine, science, social science, engineering
and divinity – and extending that expertise to citizens, governments,
industry and conservation organizations worldwide.

Our mission is to find solutions to the environmental problems facing
our planet today, and to train our students to be critical and creative
thinkers and doers who will shape tomorrow’s Earth. No other environmental school takes such a broad approach.
