项目概述
Eight tutorials are required over the course of the four-year program. Students complete a Senior Thesis under the direction of a faculty mentor and approved by the 教务主任 (DOS) and the Dean of the Honors Tutorial College. 除了, students are expected to take a minimum of six upper-division environmental courses, including one each from the program's core areas: humanities, 社会科学, and natural and physical sciences. These courses are selected in accordance with an academic plan agreed upon by the student, his or her academic mentor, 和DOS. Additional courses in cognate fields are recommended.
教程
Students enroll in one tutorial per semester, including a first-year seminar, ES 2970T Introduction to Environmental Studies, which is taken during the student's first semester in residence. During their fourth year, students use their final two tutorials to conduct original research and write a thesis.
The remaining five tutorials are electives that are selected in consultation with the student's mentor and the program DOS. To ensure that students acquire the necessary breadth of knowledge that such a major demands, no more than one tutorial elective may be taken from the same department. With respect to tutorial electives and classes, the options available to students reflect the diverse teaching and research interests of faculty from several colleges and dozens of departments across campus.
资格
Applicants are selected by the DOS and an Environmental Studies Program 入学s Committee in consultation with the Dean of the Honors Tutorial College. 除了 to a superior academic record, committee members look for students who are highly motivated and exhibit the potential to conduct independent research.
