SEAS, University Of Michigan (Ann Arbor)

The School for Environment and Sustainability (SEAS) at the University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, is a graduate-focused professional school dedicated to interdisciplinary education and research in environmental science, policy, conservation, and sustainability. Formerly the School of Natural Resources and Environment (SNRE), it was reestablished as SEAS in 2017 to expand its mission across climate change, ecosystem management, environmental justice, sustainable systems, and applied conservation. SEAS offers master's programs (including MS, MLA, and MEng pathways) and doctoral degrees, emphasizing hands-on fieldwork, policy analysis, and collaboration with government, industry, and nonprofit partners. Located on the university's Central Campus in Ann Arbor, SEAS is housed primarily in the Dana Building and draws on Michigan's broader research ecosystem, including access to university libraries, field properties, and cross-school partnerships with units such as the Ford School of Public Policy, Ross School of Business, and College of Engineering. The school is known for strengths in sustainability science, environmental informatics, landscape architecture, conservation ecology, and environmental governance, preparing graduates for careers in academia, public agencies, consulting, NGOs, and corporate sustainability roles.
