Summary
of the Structure of the Program:
It is a single,
interdisciplinary, integrated course, for the equivalent of a students’ normal 4-course load.
Generally, students
will receive credit for:
ES 330 (Policy)
ES 335 (Aquatics)
ES 310 (Applied Estuarine Management)
ES 501 (Independent research)
Students who have
already taken Policy will receive a credit for an advanced policy
course; students from other majors or with other needs will work with
faculty to customize their course credit.
It will involve
classroom activities, community-based field
work research, independent research, and travel within the Chesapeake Bay
watershed and lower Mississippi River Basin, including:
Nine weeks of
study in Chesapeake Bay watershed (8 at home and 1 week within the
mainstream of the Bay).
Three weeks of
study in the lower Mississippi River Basin.
Independent research,
most of which will be centered on community-defined environmental
problems and done in conjunction with ALLARM.
