In addition, students are expected to attend an EE professional conference which may require overnight travel. Completion of course activities will provide 50-80 hours toward the NC Environmental Education Certification Program. Only students who have taken EMS 350 (Environmental Education Teaching Methods) will be enrolled, except with permission from the instructor.

The undergraduate minor in Environmental Education is offered to students interested in building environmental literacy (environmental knowledge, attitudes, skills & behaviors) among pre-K through adult audiences. This minor may be right for you if you are interested in careers in informal science education (e.g., in museums or aquaria), environmental interpretation (e.g., parks and nature centers), formal K- 12 education, or any other career that involves connecting people with the environment. The minor is designed to give an opportunity to make substantial progress toward the NC Environmental Education Certification program , a certification listed as a requirement (or working towards) for positions within many parks and informal science education facilities, and recognized and favored nationally by many museums, aquaria, and nature centers.
