पाठ्यक्रमबारे सारश

This program prepares environmental educators for settings outside the formal classroom, especially in not-for-profit organizations. Environmental education may occur in formal classrooms, nature centers, outdoor and environmental education programs, government agency programs or in many other settings. The content of the program may include science, history, the arts or many other disciplines. The philosophy of environmental education at Huxley College is that it is to be broad and inclusive. Graduate students are expected to identify the path they wish to take in studying the field, and build their emphasis around a set of program requirements. The residency option is aimed at students who will approach environmental education in settings outside the formal classroom, especially in not-for-profit organizations. The option involves a partnership with the North Cascades Institute, which awards a certificate in Nonprofit Administration and Leadership for completion of the professional residency. The thesis/field project option serves teachers and others who wish to develop background and skill to incorporate environmental education into their educational work. All graduate students are expected to develop and implement creative projects that will aid their own teaching with the guidance and advice of the program advisor and other teachers.
