College of the Atlantic

AI Overview

College of the Atlantic offers every student a single major: human ecology—the study of how humans interact with their environment. On Mount Desert Island, you'll design your own curriculum drawing from arts, sciences, and humanities while engaging in hands-on fieldwork along the Maine coast. Self-directed learners who want to tackle environmental challenges through creative, interdisciplinary thinking thrive here. The entire campus runs on locally sourced renewable energy, making sustainability more than just coursework.
