The Pacific Northwest Environmental Studies Program (PNESP) is an undergraduate curricular collaboration among four Pacific Northwest higher education institutions. The program addresses the need to prepare students to enter one of the region's principal growth industries, environmental technology. This academic partnership allows the participating schools to pool their resources, field work opportunities and expertise to deliver a fully-transferable two-year curriculum in more depth and with broader scope than is possible without the collaboration. The curriculum development process includes both academic year meetings and summer faculty development programs that engages faculty from all participating campuses and involves professionals from the environmental industry. Thus, the program fosters the concept of an environmental teaching, learning, and service community among the faculty, students and industry professionals. The PNESP opens an avenue of seamless transition for students from precollege programs to upper division coursework. The PNESP core courses also serve to prepare students to enter teacher education programs that are aligned with Oregon's K-12 Natural Resource Systems Certificate of Advanced Mastery. The PNESP curriculum of introductory courses and field experiences will become the core element in environmental baccalaureate, associate and certificate degree programs encompassing science, policy, technology, and engineering on the participating campuses.

太平洋西北环境研究项目 (PNESP) 是太平洋西北四所高等教育机构之间的本科课程合作项目。该项目满足了学生进入该地区主要增长产业之一——环境技术的需要。这种学术伙伴关系使参与学校能够汇集资源、实地工作机会和专业知识，提供比没有合作时更深入、更广泛的完全可转移的两年制课程。 课程开发过程包括学年会议和暑期教师发展计划，该计划吸引了所有参与校园的教师和环境行业的专业人士。 因此，该项目在教师、学生和行业专业人士中培养了环境教学、学习和服务社区的概念。 PNESP 为学生从大学预科课程到高年级课程的无缝过渡开辟了一条途径。 PNESP 核心课程还帮助学生做好进入与俄勒冈州 K-12 自然资源系统高级掌握证书一致的教师教育课程的准备。 PNESP 入门课程和现场经验课程将成为参与校园的环境学士学位、副学士学位和证书学位课程的核心要素，涵盖科学、政策、技术和工程。
