- Biblical?? Your environmental science coursework will be balanced well with a liberal arts curriculum and Cedarville?s Bible minor. Our environmental science faculty members are distinctive in their commitment to biblical integration in the sciences. Each class will challenge you to further develop your biblical foundation and practice of stewardship. This aspect of the program culminates in an Environmental Ethics course that challenges you to a holistic approach to integrating your faith and practice.
- Broad preparation?? You will tailor your major based on your professional interests and goals by working with your environmental science academic adviser. We emphasize five core areas of development for all of our students in the program: content knowledge, the scientific process, the nature of science, critical thinking, and stewardship, exposing you to a broad biological background.
- Small school feel with big university opportunities?? Cedarville is uniquely positioned to offer a ?big university? curriculum and experiences while retaining a small school feel, where your professor and adviser know you personally. Cedarville University is a sustaining partner of?Au Sable Institute of Environmental Studies?that widens the scope of our curriculum. Several travel study/study abroad options are also available.
- Hands-on and field-based experience?? You?ll get hands-on experience using state-of-the-art equipment for field and lab applications. You?ll also benefit from dedicated labs for each specialty area as well as a wide variety of "field labs," including a 40-acre Prairie Restoration, Wetland Restoration, Cedar Lake, and The Campus Arboretum. Most upper-level courses include an extended field trip to study unique ecosystems such as coastal marshes, sand dunes, and diverse forests.
