Environmental Science/Environmental Studies Honors Track

The Honors Track in Environmental Science or Environmental Studies will allow outstanding undergraduate students to obtain recognition for exceptional performance in coursework and research. Students will gain real life experience that will assist them when applying to graduate school and/or for a professional career position. Acceptance into the ESM Honors Track gives students an opportunity to work closely with a faculty mentor and the graduate students in his/her lab. In addition, participation in the Honor’s Track strengthens the student's resume and provides them access to professional networking contacts.

This program is designed for upper division ESM majors who wish to deepen their knowledge base in a particular area of interest. Under the guidance of an assigned faculty adviser, participants will identify a research project that will include readings, field or lab work, and a thesis.
