Capstone experiences must be approved by the Environmental Studies Steering Committee and should culminate with a presentation to a public audience.
The capstone requirement may be fulfilled in one of the following ways:
- COR III courses or projects with an environmental focus
- Senior seminar projects with an emphasis on environmental issues
- Capstone projects (within a major) associated with independent research, field courses or study abroad
- Off-campus internships that are pre-approved by the Environmental Studies Steering Committee.
