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.
