Where My Shoe Pinches: The most "experiential" based environmental majors at Texas Tech Univeristy

I just finished doing a review of academic majors at Texas Tech University to determine which undergraduate programs incorporated environmental education and how many of those programs involved outdoor, field-based, learning. The results were not that surprising, considering that majors involving biology and natural resources were in the top 5. However, one surprising result was a humanities program that incorporates the arts with science and the outdoors. When I standardized the number of courses by converting them into percents, the humanities program actually had more field-based courses than did any of the other environmentally related majors.

If you're curious about these majors, their websites are below.

Tables. Comparison of environmental/experiential courses within TTU majors based on the departments’ course catalogue descriptions. The pie charts are based on the percentage of courses representing each of the following components:.
1= dark blue = courses with no environmental or experiential component
2 = red = course teaches some kind of environmental topic as a part of the curriculum
3 = green = course with experiential component (lab, internship, service learning, it does not have to teach about the environment or have an outdoor component)
4 = purple = course incorporates environmental knowledge and an experiential component (but it does not have to be outdoors)
5 = light blue = course involves environmental knowledge and an outdoor field component
