Northern Outdoor and Environmental Studies is a multidisciplinary exploration of contemporary environmental issues and human-environment relationships, with particular emphasis on northern systems. Drawing upon the natural and social sciences, humanities and the arts, and integrating experiential learning opportunities to bridge classroom, community and Yukon wilderness, the program critically examines a variety of environmental issues of northern concern, including: resource depletion; wilderness fragmentation; loss of biodiversity; pollution; and climate change.
The complex nature of environmental subject matter is addressed through ecological, socio-cultural, political, economic and philosophical inquiry. The program is sufficiently broad to be of interest to students seeking vocational opportunities after completing their studies at Yukon College or preparing for transfer to a university degree program. It also presents a continuing education opportunity for individuals currently employed in fields such as education, environmental policy or management, recreation and tourism. |
