Welcome to the Department of Environmental Studies at San José State University! We
were established in 1970 as one of the first environmental programs in the U.S. Our
mission is to provide a rigorous education that produces environmental thinkers to
help solve the sustainability issues of our day. We pride ourselves on offering excellent
advising to our majors, and we provide a learning environment that emphasizes community,
creative problem-solving, and diversity.
Today, the societal need for environmental experts is great, as shown by the rapid growth in sustainability jobs. We are committed to helping our students make the transition from university student to environmental professional by connecting them with internships and jobs. Many department activities help graduates find jobs in the green economy.
We look forward to seeing you in our general education classes and we hope to welcome you as a major to our vibrant and growing department.
Working together to sustain our planet,
Dr. Lynne Trulio
Department Chair
