“Rigorous coursework helped me build strong quantitative skills in mathematics, statistics, GIS, and numerical modeling, as well as important life-skills such as time management and how to write a resume. Developing these and other skills positioned me well for success as a graduate student. I believe I would not be where I am today if it were not for the support of some of the most student-dedicated faculty and staff I know. They facilitated many of these opportunities, and I believe they genuinely cared as much about my success as I did. In my opinion, the ESTP faculty and staff are what make the program such a success. I am grateful that my BS degree in ESTP prepared me so well for the demands of graduate school, which continues to prepare me for what lies ahead in academia.” - Sara Kelly, PhD Candidate, Watershed Sciences, Utah State University
 
“Overall, the ESTP program provided me with a well-rounded and solid foundation in the environmental science field, and was a great launching point for my future. Opportunities were presented in the program that gave me a unique skill set that was exclusive to the ESTP program. The location of the school, the quality of the education, and the countless opportunities provided through the ESTP program allowed me to excel in my early career. Special thanks to the professors and staff that work tirelessly to provide this level of education and expertise.” - Scott Soares, Environmental Scientist, California State Parks
