专业概况
在这里学什么?Solving environmental problems often comes down to solving people problems.

This is one of the main challenges of creating meaningful environmental change, and the overarching focus of the Behavior, Education, and Communication field of study.
As a Behavior, Education, and Communication specialist, you will learn how people think, what drives them, and the conditions under which they behave most reasonably and creatively. You will develop conceptual frameworks and learn to employ strategies to address local, regional, and global environmental problems by motivating individuals, groups, and organizations to adopt impactful behavior patterns. Through leadership and engagement, you will influence human behavior and empower diverse communities to achieve the ultimate goal of enduring environmental sustainability.
CURRICULUM
Behavior, Education, and Communication (BEC) coursework builds a sophisticated understanding of the causes, dynamics, and consequences of decisions and actions that impact natural resources and the environment. You will study human behavior—both current and evolutionary—in the context of the environment. You will learn to share information effectively, use instructional and motivational techniques to encourage desired behaviors, and negotiate conflicts by engaging diverse stakeholders to address sustainability challenges collaboratively.
