Program Description
The Environmental Science Program at Goshen College equips students to analyze environmental issues from biological, economic, and social/political perspectives - tools necessary for addressing questions of human ecology. The four courses of the Agroecology Summer Intensive:
Vegetable Crops
Soils
Agroecology
Small Farm Management
are part of the Environmental Science offerings, but can also be transferred into other schools’ programs. The ES Agroecology Concentration can be completed in eight semesters including the term of the Summer Intensive.
All four courses are delivered at Merry Lea. Students live in the cottages of Rieth Village, which is situated in the midst of agroecology plots and the ecosystems at Merry Lea. The setting provides an outstanding living classroom for interactive learning. The summer experience is designed to foster environmental awareness and leadership in participants.
