EHS Expedition Science Certificate II

Program Description

The EHS Expedition Science Cert II combines hands-on training in environmental and archaeological field and research skills, with techniques in outdoor leadership and geospatial information science and technology (GIST). The student will learn how to  map and present environmental, archaeological and recreation-related data, and will apply mapping skills to field and wilderness based research expeditions. The student will exit the Expedition Science Certificate II program with a firm introduction to the fields of environmental and geospatial science, and new leadership and presentation skills. Depending on course selection, the student may opt to participate in summer long field work in Archaeology and/or internships in other realms. Courses from the EHS Expedition Science certificate program can be applied towards completion of either an Associate of Science in Expedition Science and/or towards the AAS in EHS-Environmental Geospatial Information Science and Tech (ENV GIS TECH).
