Overview
At SUNY College of Environmental Science and Forestry (ESF), you don’t just sit in a classroom — you get outside and learn by doing.

Most of our degrees are STEM fields, preparing you for strong careers in areas like environmental engineering, renewable energy, and ecosystem restoration. You can also take part in Earth Week service projects, show your creativity through art, or join unique teams like timber sports and bass fishing.
