Become a Part of the
Greening of Education!
The five colleges of The Eco League—Alaska Pacific University,
College of the Atlantic, Green Mountain College, Northland College and Prescott College—share a commitment to the greening of education and offer students the chance to study human and natural systems in some of the country’s most vibrant ecosystems, from coast to coast.
The “green” trend has caught on with students, and Eco League colleges are proud to have stood at the vanguard of the movement toward a sustainable future. With a long history of educational programs dedicated to environmental studies and learning, Eco League member schools are noted for their emphasis on experiential learning.
With a diversity of major options available, an Eco League school may be an ideal fit for a student interested in:
- Adventure education
- Business administration
- Cultural and regional studies
- Education
- Environmental journalism
- Human ecology
- Environmental philosophy
- Geology
- Global studies
- Marine biology
- Outdoor studies
- Political science
- Sustainable agriculture
And that’s just to name a few!
Upcoming issues of our e-newsletter will address ways that you and your students can become a part of the greening of education. We’ll keep you posted on the latest news from our member schools, and we’ll tell you more about the many green career options that are exploding across the country.
We’ll also share more about our innovative Eco League Exchange, which enables students to transfer seamlessly between member colleges for the chance to check out life and learning in a whole new ecosystem.
And we’ll give you the information you need to best advise your students interested in making the world a greener—and better—place. Subscribe now to receive the next issue of Green Times and become a part of the greening of education!
