Environmental Education

The Bachelor of Science degree in environmental education prepares students to deliver experiential learning programs that foster environmental literacy and encourage people to protect and improve the environment.

Environmental educators work in a wide variety of educational and recreational settings. These include nature centers, outdoor programs, schools, residential camps, parks, resource management agencies, museums and historical sites, zoos and aquariums, resorts and ecotourism guiding services. In addition to studying environmental subjects and effective teaching methods in their formal coursework, students gain valuable experience through on-going practice with groups of learners in community and educational settings.

Environmental Education students pursuing teacher certification meet additional requirements - see the Teacher Certification program requirements. All Environmental Education students are prepared to further develop their abilities in graduate school.
