The School of Environmental and Biological Sciences brings together faculty, staff, and students for immersive, hands-on research and experiential learning. By connecting human and environmental health, we inspire socially responsible leaders to build a sustainable and just future.
We develop tomorrow’s solutions today.
SEBS both requires and provides invaluable experiential learning, which creates meaningful opportunities for students to grow from learners into leaders in the professional world.
If there’s one thing Bryce Hunter has honed after his first year on the pre-veterinary track of the animal sciences program, it’s focus. The Honors Program at the Rutgers School of Environmental and Biological Sciences is more demanding than his high school self could have anticipated, but that has only strengthened his resolve to reach his dream–becoming an exotic animal veterinarian.
On the outside, Angelina Shanley is a transfer student from upstate New York with a seeing eye dog. In her heart, though, she’s an environmental conservationist–more specifically, an ocean and marine life conservationist. Shanley was studying environmental science at Siena College, outside Albany, when, like many first-year students, she decided to change majors.
On campus and off, you’ll discover a multitude of learning venues. From living labs, farms, gardens, and ecological preserves to the nearby Raritan River and research stations across the state, see for yourself that not all classrooms have walls.
Gain a planetary perspective through study-abroad opportunities and international research/collaboration, or by interacting with the vast faculty and student body who come to Rutgers from across the globe.
Your SEBS education is only the beginning of a transformative process of hands-on learning that will prepare you for real-world success in a wide range of important fields.
