Community collaborations, field-based reseach, current knowledge, deep discussion. Learning that enriches the lives of others and makes a difference on the planet.
For 15 years, Hamline University’s Center for Global Environmental Education has served its mission of fostering environmental literacy and stewardship in citizens of all ages. Among CGEE’s programs is its Master of Arts in Education in Natural Science and Environmental Education offering individuals the knowledge and experience needed to take leadership roles in their local settings.
The program helps students recognize and clarify their commitment to a sustainable world. Using community and service as the context, theory and practice are linked. Complex community issues require individuals be reflective about their environmental values and help others reflect as well.
The Masters program emphasizes field-based research and community collaborations. The faculty uses multiple learning strategies — creative arts experiences, field-based science inquiry, technology-mediated distance learning — suited to varied teaching and learning situations.
Online, weekend and intensive summer courses offer choices to complete degree requirements. The program addresses the distance challenges of students from around Minnesota, the nation and the world and creates a community of international learners who share a common vision:
THINK GLOBALLY. TEACH LOCALLY.
