环境研究

亚洲博彩平台排名 University's bachelor's degree in environmental studies grows from our stated mission to act as stewards of the earth. It is the unique outcome of the talents of our faculty; our distinctive surroundings; our geographic proximity to freshwater and saltwater bodies, forests and farmland; and collaborations with local and regional groups such as the Environmental Protection Agency, the Rhode Island Department of Environmental Management and the Aquidneck Land Trust.

解决现实环境问题

亚洲博彩平台排名's environmental studies program exposes students to the broad range of issues that arise from the interaction of humans with the natural world, and to the tools required to understand and solve environmental problems.

Coursework is drawn from fields such as biology, 数学, 公共政策, economics and cultural and historic preservation. Student-directed research leads to a thesis in the senior year, and majors are encouraged to address real-world problems through internships and field study.

节目焦点:生活实验室

Newport is a living laboratory – it gives students in a number of different disciplines the opportunity to effectively apply what they’re learning in the classroom to the field. Our program leverages that aspect of being in the Newport community.

There is always a strong aspect of social justice, 尤其是环境正义, so those aspects of social justice are embedded within our program very concretely. Because of our connections with our community partners, our students get to act on these aspects of social justice and environmental justice right here in the Newport community.

My Salve education provided me with a well-rounded knowledge base, and the major in environmental studies opened up a wide range of career opportunities. I am eligible for jobs that require a science degree, but I am also eligible for jobs that are more humanities-based. This gave me a great deal of flexibility when choosing a career path.

项目关注的焦点: The Science Behind the Job

For someone with a passion for the environment, 15岁的Rebecca Longvall buciaglia说, there's nothing like living and working on a campus by the ocean. “Salve的位置令人难以置信，”她说. "It's like having a laboratory right outside your back door."

博尔顿镇的环保人员, 麻萨诸塞州, Bucciaglia works on wetland permitting and helps manage 2,000英亩的空地. She credits her experiences in the environmental studies program for teaching her the science behind the job – collecting data and monitoring trends – and so much more. "I loved everything about the program," Bucciaglia says. "I was really busy as a student-athlete, but the faculty took the time to keep me on track."

As a student and a leader in the Environmental Club, she learned how to communicate with different groups and understand their goals. "I work with the public every day, and every day I use something I learned at Salve," she says.
