Our students, faculty, and staff run the gamut from conservationist to preservationist—and all stripes in between. That puts Unity at the heart of the debate about what environmentalism means and how its various proponents can co-exist. As an institution dedicated to effective environmental education, that’s exactly where Unity College should be.

We don’t advocate for and we’re not limited to one perspective or another. We examine (and, maybe, unite) many viewpoints, foster spirited discussion of issues, and consider a broad range of opinion. We challenge you to get involved, do the research, evaluate options, form your own conclusions, and keep an open mind.

As the environmental field becomes international in scope, sustainability takes center stage. With its potential to unite the environmental movement, sustainability links the health of the human economy to the health of ecosystems and the global climate system. There is no more crucial subject for study and exploration in our lifetimes.

And there’s no better place to pursue your environmental education than at Unity—America’s Environmental College. Be part of an enthusiastic, active, environmentally aware, and vibrant community that’s leading the way to a sustainable future.
