Description
Students will gain the broad educational background needed to create positive change as leaders, thinkers, decision-makers, and citizens. The program emphasizes a practical approach to environmental issues through collaborative problem-solving, involvement in faculty-led research projects, internships, practicums, and community engagement projects. Our students gain an understanding of the way interconnected physical, institutional, and cultural systems shape our attitudes and behavior toward the environment. They have first-hand experience addressing large and complex "wicked problems" from an interdisciplinary perspective.
