The world needs nature educators and conservationists now more than ever. Specific topic areas include local fauna, climate change, evolution and adaptation, biodiversity, conservation, and sustainability. You’ll spend time working with educational teams at state parks and regional nature centers to develop teaching modules and support educational programming. Our small department with nationally recognized faculty gives students individual attention, including weekly check-ins with your program directors. Each student is handpicked and paired with various partner institutions like Delaware State Parks, Longwood Gardens and Mt. Cuba Center.

What’s special about this program?
Our program is unique in that it equally combines a background in education and the environment with an emphasis on wild fauna. Students will complete an intense nine-credit hour internship with a partner agency or organization and develop an education program. This degree program was designed in close collaboration with the UD School of Education; you’ll be advised by faculty from both departments and be well prepared for a career in environmental education.
