FES 493/593-Environmental Interpretation
OSU Extended Campus
Spring Term 2015
Design Messages for the Interpretive Setting
In Environmental Interpretation (Extended Campus designator FES 493/593), you discover how to communicate with visitors to interpretive settings via presentations, guided tours, displays, social media, and new media platforms. You learn how to craft messages specially tailored to engage not only visitors to parks, museums, aquariums, and historic sites, but also users of digital media.
Offered through OSU Extended Campus, Environmental Interpretation reveals the effectiveness of interpretation as a communication strategy. We introduce communication techniques applicable to a variety of disciplines, including natural,historical, and cultural resource management.
Augment Your Transcript and Resume
Environmental Interpretation students participate in real-world interpretive projects available through the U.S. Forest Service and Oregon State Parks, and connect to internship and employment opportunities available with these and other agencies. In addition, students are made aware of training and certification opportunities available through the National Association for Interpretation (NAI).
So if you’ve ever envisioned yourself working as a park ranger, nature center director, exhibit designer, website designer, or if you simply want to improve your communication skills, then this is the course for you.
