OWU E&S 2021 Updates & Efforts (PDF)

OWU has a strong E&S Department with three environmentally focused majors (Environmental Science, Environmental Studies, Geography) and a broad range of environmental courses due to the program’s age (the first in Ohio, 1978). A significant array of diverse environmental and geospatial courses (GIS, remote sensing, drones) is something our peer institutions typically don’t have.

OWU has an unrivaled student engagement component with our OWU Connection and OWU Career Connection. Engagement (internships, funded student projects, many credit-bearing) is central to our E&S majors. We are ahead of many of our peer institutions in the breadth of such options for students.

OWU has long-term and productive partnerships with a range of regional partners, which provide diverse, engaging experiences for our majors. Partners include two organic farms (close to campus), the City of Delaware (environmental assessment, utilities, planning, fire department, etc.), the local water company, a county park system, private environmental consultants, etc. OWU is ahead of our peer institutions in having well-established, diverse partners where we can accommodate a broad range of student interests.
