EOE 620 - Facilitating Environmental Education Experiences

Through readings, site visits, practice and discussion, students will learn about the theoretical and historical background of the field of environmental education. Students will gain practical experience developing and facilitating environmental education programs. Throughout this course, students will also gain knowledge of a variety of careers within the environmental education field. Students will gain hours towards the NC Environmental Education Certification (www.eenorthcarolina.org) as a part of the course work. Upon completion of this class, students should have completed between 10-15 hours towards the certification, with opportunities to complete additional hours before the end of the semester. This certification is required, and/or highly recommended, by many employers in the formal and non-formal environmental education and environmental interpretation settings.
