The Environmental Studies program takes advantage of the local environment and global opportunities. Athens, the home of Ohio University, is located in one of the most scenic parts of Ohio, near 12 state parks and the Wayne National Forest. The region has an emerging rural economy with strengths in alternative and renewable energy, sustainable agriculture, and waste to wealth enterprises. Environmental topics important to the area include:

Sustainable agriculture
Community planning and organizing
Acid mine drainage
Water resources management
Natural resources, including timber and non-timber forest products
Industry located near the Ohio River

Students have the opportunity to utilize a range of on-campus and community assets. The University’s research facilities include The Ridges, a 740-acre area with forests and farmland, also home to the Voinovich School. Nearby watersheds offer study of the impacts of abandoned coal mines and thriving watershed restoration projects. Dedicated laboratories are committed to studying ecological systems, clean energy, geochemistry and water quality. Finally, the local social and environmental entrepreneurship ecosystem supports growth of ventures in the region.
