The EcoLeague is a five-college consortium consisting of Alaska Pacific University in Anchorage, Alaska; Northland College in Ashland, Wisconsin; Prescott College in Prescott, Arizona; College of the Atlantic in Bar Harbor, Maine; and Dickinson College in Carlisle, Pennsylvania.
On January 23, 2019, Green Mountain College in Poultney, Vermont (formally a member of the EcoLeague) announced it would be closing at the end of the 2019 spring semester, reducing the consortium down to five colleges. Green Mountain concurrently announced its agreement with Prescott College (an EcoLeague colleague) to support their students through the completion of their degrees. They have also committed to hiring on several faculty from Green Mountain and developing an area of the college (to be determined) to carry on the Green Mountain name.
The EcoLeague offers studies in marine biology, sustainable business, and natural and cultural history interpretation.
The consortium is unique in that each college is in a different geographic area. Despite a wide variation in structure and culture, the five colleges have strong programs in environmental studies. The idea behind the consortium is the ability to experience learning in virtually every major biome of the United States, based on their mission of promoting a "bio-regional education for sustainability".
