The university-wide Environmental Forum is comprised of faculty interested in environmental programs at SJSU. Our goals are to facilitate a broad, interdisciplinary dialog on environmental issues on campus; to enhance environmental curricula at SJSU; to recruit well-qualified students to SJSU's environmental programs; to encourage environmental research and collaborations; and to provide outreach to the community regarding environmental programs and opportunities.

The last several decades were years of rapidly expanding environmental enlightenment. Never have humans been so keenly aware of the complexities of Earthís natural systems: their interconnectedness, the impact of human activities, and the way these systems shape our daily lives.

San José State University is proud to offer a multitude of courses and degree programs that allow you to explore the many facets of the Earthís environment. Whether you are looking to fulfill a University General Education Requirement or for a degree in an environment-related field, chances are you will find a program of study that will meet your needs.
