Environmental Education at Western consists of four distinct parts: students acquire an understanding of the content of environmental studies; examine the process of education for an environmental perspective; investigate ways of applying environmental education content and techniques in the professional roles they may pursue; and participate in internships, a field practicum, or research. Students studying Environmental Education become problem solvers who are able to meet the environmental challenges of our time.
