ABSTRACT
This chapter presents an overview of undergraduate environmental communication curricula based on a sampling of syllabi from US campuses. With a topic as broad as the "environment", these syllabi represent a wide range of pedagogical approaches and foci. The chapter identifies several trends that highlight both common and widely divergent learning objectives, assignments, and pedagogical strategies through the process of deep reading and open coding of gathered syllabi. It highlights these findings with the goal of helping new instructors plan their courses and more seasoned teachers know where their environmental communication courses fit relative to the larger, collective curriculum in the field. To summarize the findings, the environmental communication curriculum covers a wide range of subtopics and does so in a way that remains fairly consistent with the field as a whole. Clearly, as a field, environmental communication is transdisciplinary, but that is not always the case for individual courses.
