Environmental Studies is an interdisciplinary arena of study in the undergraduate curriculum. It centers on understanding relationships between humans and the planet's life support system. It seeks to develop in students a deep awareness of the complex, highly dynamic nature of the world we inhabit, including interactions among human population, the biological and physical environments, resources, technology, social organization and culture.

The portion of the planet we occupy in the Pacific Northwest is exceptionally diverse for its latitude, and affords rich opportunities for study and involvement. Linfield is a member of the Malheur Field Station Consortium, operating a teaching and research facility in the high desert of eastern Oregon.
