Sustainability Individualized Program Concentration

In some cases, students may elect to study new and innovative sustainability dimensions that do not fit the existing concentration areas. To accommodate these cases, students may choose to develop an individualized concentration area to match their particular academic interests. Students considering this option should discuss with the program director individualized courses of study to pursue the Environmental and Sustainability Studies (ESS) B.A. degree or the ESS minor. After this discussion, students are responsible for composing a proposal for a Sustainability Individualized Program (SIP), which must be approved by the program director. Students pursuing the SIP option for the B.A. degree are required to fulfill the core requirements of the Environmental and Sustainability Studies degree program (18 credit hours) plus four courses (12 credit hours) that comprise a specific area of environmental and sustainability studies.  At least 18 credit hours must be at the 300-400 level, including at least three of the four concentration-area courses.
