ENS 410 Environmental Studies Capstone

Environmental Studies Capstone is a Culminating Experience course that is required for students pursuing a Major in Environmental Studies and optional for students pursuing a minor in Environmental Studies or Sustainability. Students will work in interdisciplinary teams to develop a solutions proposal for a real-world environmental issue faced by a community partner (e.g., local governments, NGO’s, businesses). This solutions proposal will use the skills, theories, and methodologies of the natural sciences, social sciences, and humanities to examine the issue and make strategic recommendations. Students will develop Stakeholder engagement plans and communications strategies for both technical and non-technical audiences, and compete in class for the ability to present their proposal to the community partner.
