About
Since 1969, WWU’s Huxley College of the Environment has enjoyed a reputation as a premier institution for the education of future environmental experts and leaders. Our distinctive, interdisciplinary curriculum grants degrees from the Department of Environmental Studies (B.A., B.A.E., M.A., M.Ed.) and the Department of Environmental Sciences (B.S., M.S.). Each department offers multiple majors, from urban planning and environmental policy to estuarine science and terrestrial ecology.
Our Mission
Huxley College of the Environment addresses today's environmental issues and prepares tomorrow's interdisciplinary problem solvers. We accomplish this mission by integrating outstanding educational programs, faculty-student collaboration, applied research, and professional and community service.
Our Goals
Our goals this year is to generate college-level support for our current 50th Anniversary Access Scholarship. College graduation rates for low-income and underserved students are 20 percentage points lower than the rest of the population. At Huxley, we believe it is critical we fix this “opportunity gap.” This is why Huxley has made need-based admissions scholarships it’s #1 fundraising goal. Our Climate Innovation Fund will help to drive the college to even better address the climate crisis in our teaching, research, and outreach programs. Huxley College on the Peninsulas offers students in the greater Puget Sound region the opportunity to earn either a B.A. in Environmental Policy or a B.S. in Environmental Science on the Kitsap and Olympic peninsulas, where no 4 year university opportunities exists. This offering is meaningful to the communities in this region, and also to the economics of Washington state.
