Exemplary Student Work

In addition to crafting an individualized course of study, students in this program seek to tailor course assignments to meet their program goals:

In “Conservation Communications,” learning was verified in a field course on Amphibians by writing and illustrating a children’s book.
In “Community-Based Environmentalism,” research was conducted on a project for the City of Keene, NH to survey local attitudes regarding land use issues and sustainability.
In “The Chemistry of Toxic Use Reduction,” research was conducted for a Master’s Thesis on "The Sono-electrocoagulation of Wool Scouring Effluent.”
In “Environmental Communications” learning was exhibited in Environmental Interpretation by creating an exhibit for a pedestrian bridge over the Connecticut River about the changing landscape over the last 13,000 years.

A Special Project or Master’s Thesis is required for completion of the Individualized Program. This project is intended to serve as a capstone course for the program, an opportunity for the student to demonstrate their specialized skills in an applied format.
