Environmental Humanities
We’re digging into the cultural roots of environmental vitality and distress while co-creating just and flourishing futures, starting in Waco.
We pursue ethical enviornmental solutions by studying how culture shapes our life with nature while contributing to healing beyond the classroom.
Learn how the wellbing of cultures, creation, and our neighbors are interconnected through classes in the humanities and arts flexibly combined with options from the social and natural sciences and pre-professional pathways.
Meet some of our faculty from across the university.
From campus gardens to community organizations, we’re partnering with others across Baylor and Waco to connect hands-on learning to flourishing futures.
