Chatham is one of the top universities in the world for the study of sustainability. Our Falk School of Sustainability & Environment is located on the world’s first campus built from the ground up for the study of sustainability—Eden Hall Farm. Offering undergraduate programs in environmental science, sustainability, and food studies, Chatham students focus on the impacts between a wide range of systems and communities while working side-by-side with faculty on projects that make a difference in the world.
Eden Hall Farm, spanning 388 acres of picturesque woodlands and fields, is a model for sustainable solutions in energy, water, ecology, food and agriculture, and green buildings. It's not just a campus but a hands-on laboratory where Chatham’s Falk School of Sustainability & Environment thrives. Here, undergraduate and graduate students collaborate with professors on research and initiatives that extend beyond the campus, enriching their classroom learning with real-world experiences.
