Together, we offer one of the strongest concentrations of environmental scholarship in the United States, if not the world. The proximity and historical connection between the two campuses and a flexible arrangement of cross-registration, dual-degree programs, and collaboration allows faculty and students to forge productive and exciting connections between these schools and departments, as well as with the many research centers on the two campuses, such as the Syracuse Center of Excellence in Environmental and Energy Systems, and the Great Lakes Research Consortium. http://enspire.syr.edu/index.htm
