NSCC Environmental Studies Program

NSCC Environmental Studies Program Welcome to the NSCC Environmental Studies page. This will serve as a meeting and information page for students and faculty associated with the program.

The Environmental Studies Program is an interdisciplinary transfer program that helps students understand the underlying causes of environmental problems and fosters an active search for solutions. These environmental problems are complex. Therefore, the program provides a broad range of liberal arts experiences in two tracks -- Environmental Awareness and Environmental Science -- leading to lifel

ong awareness of sustainability issues that connect the environment, the economy, and society. Students may select courses from either track or may take courses that combine both. Students will be prepared to continue their studies as they pursue further degrees at four-year colleges. Career opportunities for graduates include environmental science, natural resources, and advocacy. Contact Prof. Joe Modugno or Prof. Greg Reppucci for more information.

"Before we can save this world we are losing, we must first learn how to savor what remains. This is more than an ecological crisis or a political crisis — it is a spiritual one."

Experts refer to "climate grief." Terry Tempest Williams explains what this feels like to someone who has spent their life thinking about our psychic and spiritual connection to the natural world.

A sweeping review of Medicare records expands on research that shows spending time in nature may reduce the risk of a hospitalization for Alzheimer’s, dementia and Parkinson's. . . . The findings suggest a more extensive link for Parkinson's than for Alzheimer’s but show potential prevention benefits for both.

How’s to rescue the Earth from us people? Rachel Carson’s way – 60 years ago – was to write a book, and call it Silent Spring. She’d been a shy but defiant biologist in government service. Her book had science behind it, and the rhythm of poetry all through it: one woman’s outcry—as sh...
