Environmental Studies majors at Lake Forest College study around the world, from European destinations like France, Ireland, England, and Germany to Thailand, Costa Rica, and New Zealand. As a department, ES encourages students to study abroad so that they have opportunities to broaden their environmental knowledge with experiences and coursework not possible on campus. Relatively flexible major requirements mean that coursework abroad almost always earns credit toward the major, and while some programs require foreign language proficiency, many offer courses taught in English.
