The Land and Literature Certificate will engage students in the sciences or humanities who seek to strengthen their interdisciplinary perspectives. For English majors the certificate offers an area of focus that will appeal to graduate programs in English, publication and marketing positions with environmental nonprofits, and other organizations that value combined humanistic and scientific perspectives. For majors in Natural Resources and Environmental Science, Agribusiness, or Biology, the certificate cultivates communication skills, empathy, creative thinking, and ethical reasoning. These habits of mind will enhance a range of graduate and professional pursuits.
