Program Rankings & Highlights
Unique Location
Northern Indiana is a living laboratory.
The Indiana Dunes National Lakeshore is one of the most ecologically interesting field sites in the nation — and it is just minutes from Valpo’s campus.
The nexus of protected natural areas, industrial zones, and residential communities in the Chicagoland region provide an ideal learning opportunity for students to consider the complex problems and considered solutions.
Active Classroom

The environmental science program at Valpo offers students a number of ways to apply their knowledge in meaningful ways:
Service opportunities like restoring fish habitats, participating in prescribed burns, working towards environmental justice, reforestation, and invasive species management.
Classroom projects like satellite data analysis, environmental mapping, landscape modeling, testing water quality, microplastics research, and monitoring invertebrates for ecological health.
Off-campus study in environments as diverse as Costa Rica, Namibia, France, and Australia.
