The name of the sustainability-focused, graduate-level degree program (2nd program):
Master of Education Degree in Environmental Education
None
A brief description of the graduate degree program (2nd program):
Slippery Rock University’s Master of Education in Environmental Education was initially designed for the classroom teacher who wants to address state and national guidelines for environmental education in their lessons and assist their schools and districts in “greening” their curriculum. The program now benefits students who are interested in working at non-formal educational institutions where they will be providing programs for students and teachers, and where they will be emphasizing curriculum and program development. Since environmental education is frequently integrated into the curriculum, rather than addressed as a separate subject, the program helps students develop those competencies while increasing their understanding of societal interactions with ecological systems.
The online environmental education program consists of 30 credit hours. Students complete eight courses (three credits each) as well as six credits of internship.
