Based on Krejcie and Morgan's table, a sample of 385 students was chosen and data was collected based on a standardized three-part questionnaire (demographic, knowledge, attitude) that was used in similar studies and its validity has been confirmed by the experts in the field and Cronbach's alpha for reliability assessment for knowledge and attitude items were 0.70 and 0.81 respectively.Findings: Based on the results, students' environmental knowledge is at a high level and their environmental attitude is at the desired level. The variables of age and marital status are significantly correlated with the level of students' knowledge and attitudes, while there is no significant correlation between the variables of gender, field of study and academic unit with the level of knowledge and attitudes. The results also indicate that there is a significant positive correlation between environmental knowledge and attitudes.Discussion and Conclusion: The high level of environmental knowledge and attitude of the students under study can have a significant impact on their environmental behavior and lead to responsible environmental behavior.
