These credits are for work which focuses on an environmental theme or issue.
All SIPs require some written product.
Information on the SIP option is available in the Environmental Studies Center. Admission to this limited-enrollment program is competitive. After first talking with the SIP Supervisor, students must submit a formal proposal for their project. The proposal must discuss both the focus of the project and the desired distribution of credits. The Student Initiated Project is an option within the Environmental Studies major that allows students to develop a 12-credit course of study focused on a particular environmental problem or issue.
