Purpose Statement

The minor in Environmental Communication is designed to introduce students to the range of subfields in environmental communication and provide them with the necessary background in environmental history, ideologies, issues, and ethics for engaging in the production, analysis, and evaluation of environmental messages. One emphasis is developing capacities to think critically about environmental messages pertaining to human relationships with the natural world that are communicated through artistic, advocacy, and journalistic venues both verbal and audio-visual. Equally important, a second emphasis is on the production of messages in a variety of media, genres, and contexts, actively engaging in multiple forms of environmental communication. The minor in Environmental Communication is a useful supplement for those majoring and/or preparing for careers in environmental journalism, documentary production, environmental art, public relations, environmental advocacy, community organizing, environmental education, environmental law, politics, parks and recreation, and public agency service.
