Environmental education is a field which many of our graduates choose to pursue. Environmental education refers to organized efforts to teach how natural environments function, and particularly, how human beings can manage behavior and ecosystems to live sustainably. The term often implies education within the school system, from primary to post-secondary but includes all efforts to educate the public and other audiences, including print materials, websites, media campaigns, etc.

Environmental education is a field which most minors will complement, depending on what type of discipline is of interest. Examples include biology, chemistry, geology, education, communication, english, global business, economics, history, peace studies, etc.
