Individualized Program

When your career goals transcend the academic boundaries of our existing Environmental Studies programs, you may consider a more individualized approach. Students engage in a rigorous and rewarding process of crafting an academic framework which reflects their individual professional goals while providing a structured and disciplined approach for achieving academic depth and meaningful practice.

The Individualized Program provides a framework for developing a unique course of study, and has been an avenue for students whose interests lie at the intersection of disciplines, such as nature and writing, conservation and communications, agriculture and community, art and environment, ecology and psychology. Those choosing this option must have a predominantly environmental focus, a strong academic background, experience in their proposed field of study, and clearly articulated professional goals.

Chart Your Own Course.

Name and describe the program you envision. Then work with an advisor to craft a program of study that integrates advanced coursework in your area of interest with foundation courses in environmental studies.

Create an interdisciplinary program.

Antioch University New England has a longstanding tradition of providing unique educational opportunities. An Individualized Program allows you to blend your academic strengths and professional experience to create a curriculum that goes beyond traditional boundaries.

Why did you choose the individualized option in Environmental Studies?
Here was Antioch saying, “Make us a proposal to do something remarkable.” I chose to customize my degree with courses in management. No matter where I worked in the environmental field, I would need to know how to work effectively with others.

How has Antioch New England impacted your career?
I now work for a fossil fuel-based utility. I help customers conserve natural gas and use resources wisely. This opportunity sprang from my practica work. I am continually surprised by how little people know about where resources come from—they just want to flip a switch to have power, or water, or heat. I help people understand where their energy comes from and how they can use it more efficiently.

What’s the one thing every Antioch student should know on the first day?
While the campus doesn’t appear to be magical, the things that happen there every day truly are amazing.
