Environmental Science
The Coastal Georgia Environmental Science Program proudly develops the next generation of environmental scientists and leaders through our world-class teaching and field-based learning opportunities—Experiential Learning.
Experiential Learning through field trips and research experiences is an important focus area of our program. However, these experiences incur costs beyond typical classroom tuition and must be supported through course fees. Private funding is crucial to help offset these costs incurred by students as they dedicate their time, effort, and grit to pursuing a degree in Environmental Science.
Small, one-time, and recurring gifts can majorly impact funding to enhance student experiences. You can pay it forward and make a meaningful difference for current and future students.
One hundred percent of donations will bolster student success through the Experiential Learning Fund.
We truly appreciate your support!
