Rutgers University offers 25 undergraduate majors through its School of Environmental and Biological Sciences alone, ranging from partially to fully green in outlook. It has a center that looks at the role of biotechnology in agriculture and the environment, another that explores quantitative modeling of environmental systems and an institute that looks at changing energy policy and technology. But what if you don't have time for a four-year degree? Rutgers is now recruiting students for an environmental stewardship program that combines classroom learning with service learning. The Rutgers Environmental Stewards program aims to give ordinary New Jerseyans the science background they need to become involved with environmental issues in the state. Students will spend 60 hours in a classroom or field study, and then another 60 hours volunteering on an environmental project.
Classes will be held at four locations around the state. For more information, or contact the Rutgers New Jersey Agricultural Experiment Station by clicking here.
