Hello, I came to Israel on Taglit, and after being here for a few months Im considering studying here. I am from Virginia. I originally planned to study Outdoor Education and Leadership at Radford U. in SW Virginia, a bachelor's program that combines science and education in nature. Im curious if there are similar programs in Israel. I have considered a degree in Environmental Science, but I'm less interested in science and more in environmental education/advocacy. If I found a bachelor's program to my liking, it might be my first step to making aliyah.

Environmental studies in Israel
Hello Charlie,
Environmental studies programs in English are currently only available for MA degrees in Israel. Several institutions offer such programs, such as Tel Aviv University, The Haifa University, and Ben Gurion University. The only BA (undergraduate) tracks are taught entirely in Hebrew.
However, there are a few "gap year" type short programs in similar subjects. Tel Aviv University runs a summer program that focuses on climate change, sustainable urban design and conflict resolution in the Middle East. The Arava Institute for environmental studies offers a leadership and co-existence seminar, where Israeli, Palestinian and international students discuss environmental sustainability and ethics.
I've added a link to an article with more information on gap year programs, so you can read more about the application process and admission requirements. If this is not what you had in mind, please leave your personal details in the yellow guidance tab below, and let us know more about the study tracks you find suitable. We will be happy to help you find a track that interests you in Israel.
