Environmental Education Summer Institute

The Summer Institute is an intensive (8 credit), team-taught educational experience that immerses students in a process of inquiry explicitly designed to connect and integrate the Environmental Education Program’s three Focus Areas: environmental science; environmental values, policy, and planning; and curriculum and instructional methods.  The Summer Institute is a four week, full-time program, including an experiential and project-based curriculum.  Classroom and field-based activities help students experience the interdisciplinary nature of environmental education firsthand, while beginning to construct a plan for deepening their understanding through continued study in the field.
