Academic Opportunities

  • EEPS EXPLORE
    • The EXPLORE program, enabled by the Human Impacts on the Earth Endowment*, is open to undergraduate students who want to contribute to scientific discovery through research to enhance their understanding and appreciation of the Earth, the Environment, or our solar system and beyond. This opportunity is open to EEPS and ENVS majors and non-majors (including those outside of STEM fields). Students accepted into the program will work with EEPS faculty or affiliates on research or experiential projects or internships, designed to enhance their knowledge of the field and understand the scientific challenges that we face today.
  • Honors Thesis Research
    • Environmental Science students have the opportunity to apply for Distinction in Research and Creative Works through two venues: first, through their major concentration department (either Biosciences or Earth, Environmental and Planetary Sciences), or through the Environmental Science Program.
    • The Distinction in Research and Creative Works award for the Environmental Science major is focused on recognizing excellence in students’ work in environmental design, action, and community engagement. This is an award for the creation and/or application of environmental solutions. This award recognizes outstanding work creating environmental solutions through collaboration with community or campus partners.
