Fourteen 课程s and an integrating experience are required for the major. Only 课程s with a grade of C- or better may be counted toward the major.

基础 课程s: Five foundational 课程s are required. 建议学生在大二结束前修完这些课程. 学生 are encouraged to take a full year of each science, including physics and a full year of mathematics. 特别鼓励计划参加研究生院的学生花一年的时间学习微积分,以及与他们的导师协商的额外数学课程. 物理课程的要求可以通过一门门户课程来满足,如下所述.S. 和B.A. 选项.

核心 课程s: Three environmental science core 课程s. All three 课程s are required.

综合经验:包括研究或实习在内的综合经验. 这半学分的要求旨在为学生提供解决环境问题的经验,可以通过图书馆来满足, 场, 或通过实验室研究或通过批准的实习或独立学习. 学生必须有他们的计划完成这一要求,由他们的顾问和项目主任批准,然后才能开始他们的工作. To fulfill the requirement, 学生向他们的环境科学指导老师提交以下材料:一份关于他们的活动和经历的日志, a letter from their supervisor (if work is completed outside the College), and a reflection paper. 学生 will also give a final, 在大四春季学期公开展示他们的经历,作为满足这一要求的一部分. 学生 must satisfy this requirement during their junior or senior year.

ADDITIONAL OPPORTUNITIES

跳级环境科学AP考试成绩达到4分或5分的学生可免修env 149升课程,并可获得该专业1个学分. 然而, 强烈建议学生选择env 149升,因为该课程涵盖了许多具体的当地环境问题.

Teaching assistantship学生可能会被ENVS老师要求担任各种课程的助教. 学生 who accept this offer must register for ENVS 466. 学分, 但不是主要学分, is given for teaching assistants, and grading is on a pass/low pass/fail basis.

Courses at other institutions学生如欲在其他院校主修课程,应:(1)获得注册主任批准, (二)向环境科学项目主任提交机构名称, 数量, title, and catalog description of the 课程 and, 如果可能的话, 教学大纲. 这些信息必须在工作开始之前以书面形式提交,并且必须获得正式许可才能将课程记入博彩平台网址大全的专业. 有些学生可能也希望参加学期课程,重点是认真研究环境科学. 适合博彩平台网址大全环境科学专业学生经常参加的项目有:

  • School for Field Studies
  • Marine Biological Laboratory Semester in Environmental Science, Woods Hole
  • Duke University Marine Laboratory
  • Sea Education Association, Woods Hole
  • EcoQuest, New Zealand
  • Danish Institute for Study Abroad
  • 科廷大学

经环境科学项目主任批准,最多三门课程(加一 .从博彩平台网址大全扣除的5个学分的研究经验可以计入环境科学专业. Under special circumstances, students may petition the program for permission to transfer additional 课程s; transfer students wishing to transfer more than three 课程s should petition at the time of admission.

荣誉,寻求进入环境科学荣誉课程的学生必须在第六学期课程的第六周之前向主任提交书面申请. The Environmental Science Coordinating Committee will act on each application. 寻求荣誉的学生必须在第五学期之前完成至少五门专业课程,这些课程的平均成绩必须至少达到B+ (3).3). 五个学期后不符合荣誉课程资格的学生可能会被教师邀请在以后的时间进入该课程.

After acceptance into the honors program, students must maintain a GPA of B+ in their environmental science 课程s. 此外,他们必须进行两个学期的环境科学研究(env 419或425). 荣誉课程在荣誉论文(env 497)和公开演讲中达到高潮. Upon completion of these requirements, 环境科学协调委员会将投票授予其认为合格的候选人荣誉. Under exceptional circumstances, 协调委员会可以考虑那些没有参加荣誉项目但有特别杰出工作的荣誉研究学生.

Field studies in environmental science:每年, 环境科学教员对美国的一个特定地区进行10到12天的实地考察.S. 还是在国外. 这次旅行向博彩平台网址大全的学生介绍了环境科学的实地方法. 学生 study the geology, 生态, and history of human impact on the region visited, which varies from year to year. 学生 also gain experience in basic 场 sampling techniques, observational skills, 田野笔记, and methods for data analysis and interpretation. The trip occurs in either spring or late summer, depending on the destination; registration for env 350 thus occurs in spring or fall semester, 分别.
