Environmental literacy and the college curriculum
- Univ. of Wisconsin, Stevens Point, WI (United States). Coll. of Natural Resources
As the Associate Dean of the College of Natural Resources at The University of Wisconsin-Stevens Point, the author shares responsibility for the largest undergraduate natural resources program in the country. The 1,750 majors in the college can choose among 30 different academic programs and nearly 200 environmentally related courses. These students are receiving intensive environmental literacy instruction. However, they are a minority. While many institutions offer environmentally related minors or majors, they do not require even basic instruction in environmental literacy. Thus, the vast majority of students are not enrolled in programs focused on the environment; most never even enroll in a general environmental studies course. This article focuses on reaching these students with environmental literacy instruction.
