FUNDING FOR SMALL PROJECTS
The environmental studies program has a small amount of money to support program development this year -- this could include faculty-student research projects, course-related projects or field trips, or money to support environmental studies internships. If you have projects that could benefit from a little extra money and that would contribute to the strength of the e.s. program, please send a brief description and budget to Susan Clayton for review by the program committee.
3-2 PROGRAM WITH DUKE
Qualified students may participate in a joint program with the Nicholas School of the Environment and Earth Sciences at Duke University. The program leads to a B.A. from Wooster and a Master’s Degree in Forestry or Environmental Management from Duke. Various specializations or tracks are possible within the environmental management program. The Wooster degree will be awarded upon the successful completion of the first year of the two-year professional curriculum at Duke. In addition to satisfying the requirements for a combined professional training program at Wooster, students must complete prerequisites that vary, depending on the track at Duke that the student elects to pursue. A more complete description of the program is available from Dr. Marilyn Loveless in the Biology Department.
