A brief description of the graduate degree program (2nd program):
Slippery Rock's Master of Education degree in Environmental Education is a 30 credit hour program. The program is designed specifically for the classroom teacher who wants to address state and national guidelines for environmental education in their lessons and to assist the school district in meeting these recommendations. 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. A K-12 Pennsylvania Certification in Environmental Education can be achieved through this program.
