Environmental education
A poster advertising the allure of environmental sciences
shouts: “The real world is outside—get into it!” If that approach
appeals to you, you will like environmental education. We emphasize
field work in biology, geology, forestry, and other related
subjects. Most of your fellow students are currently working
as educators in elementary or middle school settings or want
to add educational expertise to their jobs as recreational leaders,
naturalists, or forestry managers, for example. Whatever your
current profession, this field of study will allow you to expand
your ability to provide relevancy and immediacy to your educational
efforts.
