alumni TESTIMONIAL
My degree provided a solid foundation for employment in both the healthcare industry and field of environmental education. A highlight of my time in the program was the natural science field study out west. Observing all that nature has to offer and learning through hands-on examination with my peers and professor, while fulfilling a class requirement, was an opportunity I am grateful for.
