There are many issues affecting the environment and there are many approaches to developing solutions to these problems. Cedar Crest College allows you to choose the approach that excites you the most.
The B.S. in Environmental Conservation is a field-based major that allows students to pursue a scientific study in environmental conservation by providing a strong foundation and advanced study in ecology and conservation biology.
The B.A. in Environmental Conservation also provides a strong foundation in conservation biology but is more interdisciplinary. This major has more flexibility and allows students to design their own course of study and focus through the integration of environmental conservation with other disciplines: by combining the major with other co-majors, minors, concentrations, or a self-designed package of courses from disciplines across campus.
The mission of the Environmental Conservation program at Cedar Crest College is to provide women with the knowledge and skills needed to protect species, habitats, and ecosystems and to become leaders in the field of environmental conservation. Students study conservation issues within global, sociopolitical, and cultural contexts, become civically engaged, and learn to communicate the importance of preserving biodiversity to a variety of audiences. Students who complete the B.S. degree are prepared to solve the environmental issues that affect biodiversity through scientific study and conservation-related research while students who complete the B.A. degree take a more interdisciplinary approach to addressing environmental issues that affect biodiversity.
