Natural History & Sustainability, Merritt College
The mission of the Natural History and Sustainability Program is to provide locally-focused, interdisciplinary preparation for employment in the growing environmental industry. This preparation includes theoretical knowledge; practical skills; networking with industry partners; hands-on training and job experience; and the opportunity to join a community of solution-focused environmental practitioners.
Our program is ideal for students interested in the natural sciences and the interactions between nature and society. Are you interested in promoting environmental justice? Do you want to improve your community? Are you concerned about food access? Are you passionate about conservation and ecosystem health? Do you want to create a just and healthy world? If your answer to any of these questions is ‘yes,’ this program is for you.
