Most park ranger positions involve education and interpretation. Rangers plan and conduct educational programs for the public on the science, culture, or history of a park, provide information about the park to guests at a visitors’ center, conduct field trips to point out park highlights, maintain park structures and facilities, create educational displays, and write brochures. Many park rangers have degrees in environmental studies. A solid background in earth science, environmental science, and biology is important for work at many locations, as is an understanding of public policy and communication. This major can prepare students to become park interpreters, so that they can educate visitors about natural and scientific features.
