Admission to the Program
Interested students must complete an online application form in either the second semester of their sophomore year or first semester of their junior year. The purpose of this form is to communicate the student’s intent to propose a research project under the supervision of an Environmental Science faculty member. The form requires the approval of this faculty member, a sketch of the likely research project (including justification of its feasibility), and the student’s qualifications and motivation for undertaking such a project. Upon acceptance into the program a research proposal is completed within the first semester with input from the faculty advisor.
Admission to the program is based on good academic standing, relevance of the research idea, and faculty mentor approval. Students must have cumulative and major GPAs of 3.50 or higher.
