Why Michigan?

The Behavior, Education, and Communication (BEC) field of study is the reason I chose Michigan. This program truly unique to UM and offers an exclusive, specialized niche. The BEC faculty are pioneers in the fields of environmental psychology, behavior change, and environmental education. Additionally, I was impressed by the feelings of community that I experienced among the SNRE students during my visits. Sometimes I forget that I attend one of the largest schools in Michigan, because I see friendly familiar faces everyday.
