Co-curricular opportunities in Environmental Science

The Franklin Pierce campus: a unique learning laboratory

• The Franklin Pierce campus offers 1,200 biodiverse acres that serve as a rich learning laboratory for hands-on studies in ecology and biology. Notable wildlife species on campus include beaver, bobcat, moose, fisher, deer, black bear, sharp-shinned hawks, wood ducks, coyotes, red fox and mink.

• An extended field trip to Costa Rica to study tropical forest ecology is traditionally offered during the Winter Break.

• Students have the opportunity to work with faculty and administrators on steps to fulfill Franklin Pierce's commitment to the American College and University Presidents' Climate Commitment.
