Programs for Environmental and Natural Resources Students

 

An International Experience in Asia Can Enrich Your Education and Career in
Environmental and Natural Resources

With the increasing focus on environmental conservation on our planet, the going green movement and concern over climate change and global warming, no field more demonstrates the vital need for international experience.
With diverse landscapes, creatures and ecosystems as different as the continents and countries they inhabit, a study abroad experience in this field is just the ticket any student can do to gain a global environmental perspective, help the planet and also help themselves to potential environment-focused careers.

Studying abroad is one of the very best ways you can give yourself a leg up in the field you choose after graduation. Asia, in particular, continues to play an increasingly-critical role in the international community and therefore speaking an Asian language and understanding Eastern cultures are much-needed global skills that can benefit you greatly in your career.  

Why Study Abroad in Asia? Whether you choose a semester or year abroad, or take a summer short course you’ll not only give yourself a significant advantage career-wise, but you will also have a once-in-a-lifetime experience that’s never more in reach than during your college years.

Take a look at the current environmental issues affecting Asia on a map. You’ll notice that almost all of the major cities suffer from poor air quality, many areas feel the affects of acid rain, and desertification threatens large areas in the west.

In Asia you can really put your environmental skills to the test and make a difference in a country that is now striving to change its ways. The following universities offer courses in Environmental Studes:
