Admission

The major is designed for students with a strong interest in the theory and practice of environmental issues. Each spring a maximum of 15 students will be selected for the program from a pool of applicants. Students will be chosen on the basis of prior academic performance, faculty recommendation, and an essay explaining the student's interest in the field. The program will provide students with a background for continued study in graduate and professional schools or careers in business, government, NGOs, or advocacy groups.

Students interested in becoming ETP majors should submit:

1. a completed ETP application form ( .pdf format - download Acrobat Reader for free);
2. a letter of recommendation from a faculty member; and,
3. a 300-400 word essay addressing why you are interested in becoming an ETP major.

By 29 February 2008 applicants should place the above materials in ETP Program Administrator Jenny Jones' mailbox in the Environmental Sciences Department mailroom, Clark Hall.
