1 Student Guide for Environmental Science and Studies Department of Environmental Science and Studies DePaul University 1110 W Belden Ave McGowan South, Suite 203 Chicago, IL (773)

2 Welcome! The Department of Environmental Science and Studies (ENV) is a closely knit group of faculty, staff, and students dedicated to understanding how humans interact with the environment and to exploring ways to minimize human impacts. ENV faculty and staff work closely with students to research these issues with an emphasis on topics that affect the greater Chicago area. Because of the relatively low numbers of students per faculty member, advising is very personalized. But the broad nature of environmental science and studies leads to a range of different academic pathways, and this guide documents the various options available within ENV. This guide is intended to aid ENV students (BS, BA, and minors) to successfully carry out their programs. We have included a lot of the information that students will find useful in scheduling their courses, deciding on electives to take, and in thinking about their larger academic and career goals. Much of this information is collected from various websites, and links are provided whenever possible. Since this is still only a second edition, we apologize in advance for any errors or mistakes that are in the booklet. Please let us know of any errors that you find, as well as any additional types of information you would like us to put in this guidebook. Our goal is to make sure that every student has access to all the information they need to complete our curriculum and help them succeed in their academic careers. Our Programs of Study The Department of Environmental Science and Studies offers students a choice of two degree programs, one leading to a Bachelor of Science (BS) in Environmental Science and the other leading to a Bachelor of Arts (BA) in. The BA further offers students the option of two tracks, one that focuses on environmental sustainability, the other offering more flexibility in course choices. Both the BS and BA degree programs develop the environmental literacy of students and increase their understanding of the broad context of environmental problems and solutions. The BS in Environmental Science provides students with a strong science and math background and prepares students to explore environmental topics from a strong scientific perspective. Students gain knowledge and skills of environmental science through coursework as well as through field- and laboratory-based research projects in the Chicago-land area. This degree program prepares students for entry level positions in industry and government and for further study in science, engineering, law, policy, and education among other graduate programs. The BA degree in trains students to view the inherently holistic problems associated with the environment in a thoroughly interdisciplinary way. This overcomes the problems that come from applying a narrower disciplinary focus to problems that cross the disciplines. For instance, viewing a given environmental problem from a purely natural science perspective may lead exclusively to technical solutions. The same problem viewed through an exclusively humanistic perspective or social science lens perspective may lead to a greater subtlety in problem definition, but may not produce technically feasible solutions. The BA is ideal for students who wish to bring their interest in the environment and natural world to community and business organizations or other aspects of their personal or professional life. 2

3 Contacting Faculty Talk with your academic advisor on a regular basis to ensure that you are on track for completing the program with the types of electives and options that best fit your needs. If you don t know who your academic advisor is, stop by or call the ENV Office (McGowan South Room 203, phone , campus extension 57447). The main ENV office is generally open Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 5 PM.

4 General advising notes AP Credit from High School DePaul credit may be awarded for AP courses depending on the test score. Below are listed some of the equivalences; more can be found at Students with strong backgrounds (e.g. 5 on the AP exams), may wish to start their freshman year by taking the ENV core courses if appropriate, allowing them to take additional ENV electives in their senior year. AP Exam Name Score Course Credit DePaul Course Credit Environmental Sciences 3 4 ENV or 5 8 ENV 102 & 202 Biology 3 4 BIO BIO 191 & BIO 191, 192, & 193 Senior Residency Requirement At least the last 60 quarter hours must be earned in residency at DePaul University. At least one half of the major field course work also must be completed at DePaul. Modern Language Requirements and Modern Language Option Students who intend to graduate with the BA degree will be required to demonstrate competence in a modern language. Such competence may be demonstrated in one or several ways: by completing the last course in the fourth-year high school sequence of any language, by achieving a score of 3 or higher on the Advanced Placement test, by a satisfactory score as determined by the modern language department on the CLEP examination, by scoring high enough on a placement test to begin the intermediate level of a language, or by taking appropriate course work. Note that CLEP scores may be used only to meet the College requirement. Credit is not awarded in Modern Language on the basis of CLEP scores. Students who wish to or who are required to do course work beyond the introductory level in a language must demonstrate competence in that language up to the target level. This can be done by taking a placement test (if available) or by consulting with the modern language department. Students with little or no previous work in the language will be required to complete the entire three course introductory sequence. BA students who meet college requirements and wish to pursue further work in the language may elect the "modern language option" of the Liberal Studies Program. While BS students are not required to demonstrate competency in a modern language, the modern language option is available to them for language study at any level. The Modern Language Option is available to all BA students who wish to study a modern language beyond the level necessary to meet the College s language requirement and to BS students who wish to study a modern language at any level. Students selecting the option may substitute a three-course language sequence for two domain courses and one open elective. 4

5 Students may use the Modern Language Option to reduce their requirements by one course among two of the following combinations of learning domains: Philosophical Inquiry or Religious Dimensions; Understanding the Past or Self, Society, and the Modern World; and Arts and Literature. Experiential Learning The experiential learning component of the Liberal Studies requirements can be filled in several ways. We currently have four courses specific for ENV students: ENV 235 (Environmental education and stewardship), ENV 322 (Ecosystem ecology), ENV 345 (Urban agriculture) and ENV 361 (a course that extends the effort done to fulfill the senior thesis requirement). In addition, there are numerous study abroad or service-based learning courses that fulfill the requirements, as well as ISP 250 internship courses: The Department of Environmental Science and Studies interfaces often with the Steans Center for Community-based Service Learning. ENV also has a number of dedicated internships for students in the community. More courses may be in development, so please keep in touch with your advisor on this issue. Double Majors Double majors are permitted between and within colleges (except the College of Education). The following are some of the stipulations to be considered when thinking about a double major. See you advisor early in your undergraduate career if you are thinking of double majoring. 1. When declaring more than one major, the student will designate one major as the primary major. This major determines the college within which the student is matriculating and the degree which will be conferred when all graduation requirements for the primary major have been met. The primary major also determines the basic liberal studies requirements the student will follow. 2. All graduation requirements for each major must be met when completing a double major. This includes particular Liberal Studies Program courses specified by each major and allied field requirements. 3. No more than one half of the major field requirements of the second major may also have been counted toward the major field requirements of the primary major. 4. Courses taken as either an allied field or liberal studies requirement in the primary major may also be used to satisfy major field requirements of the second major. ENV Minors The department offers three minors: Environmental Science,, and Sustainability Studies. These minors are currently only available to students not majoring in Environmental Science or. The minors all consist of six courses. For more information on the minors, see: 5

6 Environmental Sciences: : Sustainability Studies: Research Opportunities Faculty within ENV often have positions available for undergraduates seeking research opportunities, and the funding for such opportunities is constantly increasing (e.g. through the Research Assistant and Summer Research Grants). Although thesis research is required for Environmental Science students, we encourage all students to contact faculty and explore the opportunity for research. It s not only fun and educational, but it can often leads to co-authorship on abstracts, poster presentations, or manuscripts. Transfer Students A considerable number of our ENV students have transferred in many credits from other colleges and universities. Many have transferred from majors other than environmental science. Because the number and types of courses transferred varies considerably we strongly urge transfer students to see their academic advisors as soon as possible after they transfer into ENV so that we can make sure you are on track to take the proper courses, and so that we can establish an appropriate timeline for graduating from the department. Despite the variations in courses that are transferred, students are encouraged to take as much as possible in sequence (i.e. core courses before electives, all required courses before electives) to avoid taking more elementary or more required courses in their last few quarters at DePaul. Students should also pay particular note of the prerequisites suggested or required for their desired ENV electives, to ensure that they take the necessary background courses. If you are a transfer students, you should meet with your academic advisor as soon as possible. Bring a complete list of the courses that have been transferred to DePaul, as well as any other transcripts or information relating to courses you think may not have transferred properly. If you think there are courses that were mis-assigned upon your transfer (e.g. ENV courses that were given credit as liberal studies courses or elective courses) be sure to bring a course description (and syllabus if possible) to your academic advisor when you meet so that the advisor can determine the proper placement of the course. Students transferring from another major, or from backgrounds with little or no science courses, should realize that, especially for the Environmental Science degree, it might take longer to complete the degree than expected due to the required sequencing of courses and the low number of free electives. In talking with your advisor, make sure that you both understand and are comfortable with any outlined timeline for completion of the ENV degree. Registering as an ENV Major or Minor If you intend to graduate as an ENV major, or with an ENV minor, be sure that you are officially registered in the system. Register through Campus Connect. If you do not have an academic advisor, please contact Naomi Leighton (nleigto@depaul.edu) and she will assign you one. 6

7 Other Considerations Students must have a C- or better in any majors & allied field courses to count towards their major. Students must maintain an overall C average (GPA of 2.0) to avoid academic probation. 7

12 Of Special Interest to Environmental Science Bachelor of Science Students Five-Year Combined-Degree (BS/M.ed.) Secondary Science Teacher Education Program This program provides students the opportunity to complete in five years an undergraduate Environmental Science major and a Master s of Education degree with State of Illinois secondary teaching certification in Environmental Science. As a combined degree program of the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the School of Education, the program is collaboratively developed, governed, and taught by faculty from both units. Students may apply to the Program during the spring of their junior year. They must complete the Junior Year Experiential Course TCH 320, Exploring Teaching in an Urban High School, and meet other application criteria prior to applying; these include completion of at least 16 quarter credit hours at DePaul and a 3.0 GPA. During their senior year, students are required to complete a Program capstone course and three 400-level courses that count toward both their undergraduate and graduate degrees. The Master s year comprises teacher-preparation coursework that culminates with student teaching during spring quarter. Upon graduation and the fulfilling of State of Illinois Certification requirements (which may require some additional course work in the student s major and related fields), students are eligible to be certified to teach Environmental Science at the 6 th -12 th grade levels. A full description of the Program can be found on the School of Education website in the graduate course catalog. Students interested in the Program should consult with Dr. Bramble for more information. Senior Thesis The Environmental Science BS degree is unique among undergraduate science degrees at DePaul in having thesis research as part of the core curriculum. Thesis research is always directed by department faculty, sometimes in collaboration with scientists in the community. Past research projects have explored the effectiveness of different ecological restoration strategies, the update of lead by plants in urban gardens, the removal of phosphorus in nearby wetlands, the impact of temperature and carbon dioxide on biogenic plant emissions and the effect of different kinds of messages on environmental attitudes. Many projects result in publications in the DePaul student research journal; several have resulted in publications in peer reviewed literature. The experience gained through conducting research, from generating interesting questions and hypotheses to designing an experiment, collecting and analyzing data, and summarizing and presenting results is invaluable to students and to prospective graduate programs and employers. Normally, BS majors in their junior year take the Research Methods course ENV 360 (4 credit hours) to learn the general techniques for doing research and about research options so they can choose their thesis topic. Students are encouraged to take ENV 361, Research in Environmental Science, to fulfill their JYEL credit and devote additional time to their research project. Students will register for 2 credit hours of Senior Research (ENV 362) while doing their research project. Registration in ENV 362 is required for a thesis project to get it on the transcript. 12

13 Students have the option to either present a poster or write a journal article to complete their thesis project. Written theses will follow the format for submission to the CSH journal DePaul Discoveries, but acceptance will not be part of the criteria. Poster presentations will be considered on tiered basis. For example, the Science Showcase held each autumn at DePaul encourages the presentation of works in progress. In the case of students only presenting work in progress at the Showcase, they will be assigned a B grade, but will be able to graduate. In addition to the choice of a poster or a paper, all students will present their work at either the fall or spring ENV Student Symposium. A diagram of the requirement is presented below: Paper Meets requirements for submission to DePaul Discoveries OR Poster (2 options) 1. Presentation of a completed research project at CAURS or another scientific meeting 2. Presentation of preliminary results at DePaul s Science Showcase limits to B grade AND Present at either November or May ENV research symposium Students and their advisor will develop a timeline for completion of the senior thesis with three main ideas in mind: 1) to guide students towards a "smooth graduation," 2) to allow sufficient time for thesis advisors to review the data/drafts, and 3) to allow students to have sufficient time to reanalyze any data and revise drafts based on their thesis advisor s comments and suggestions. Students should expect to have constructive criticism from their thesis advisors and to perform any and all revisions as requested by the advisors. Revising drafts is a time consuming, painstaking process, but it can be one of the most rewarding and beneficial parts of the thesis project. In addition, students are expected to deliver an oral presentation on their research results during the Annual Student Research Symposium in spring quarter. One of the goals of writing a thesis is to develop the skills necessary to produce a professionally written document. The style of writing should be consistent with, or similar to, that in typical scientific literature. Students should follow the guidelines given by DePaul Discoveries, even if they are not meeting the deadline for submission to that journal. The maximum length requirement for DD can be extended by mutual agreement between students and their advisor. 13

14 Environmental Science/Studies (BA/BS)/Master of Sustainable Management The combined ENV-MSSM program allows Environmental Science and Studies majors to complete 12 graduate credit hours while still undergraduates. These three graduate level courses will count toward both the undergraduate and graduate degree programs. The graduate degree provides students with advanced knowledge of business systems and practices, focusing on environmental sustainability, to create leaders for business, government, and civic organizations. For more information on the full Master of Sustainable Management curriculum see: Admission Requirements Current DePaul Environmental Science or Studies majors who meet the following criteria may apply to this program: Junior standing or higher (at least 88.0 credits) A minimum cumulative DePaul grade point average of Admission to the five year program does not require the GMAT, essays, or letters of recommendation. Classes During Senior Year In the combined program, students will take three graduate classes during the senior year. These three classes will count toward the bachelor s degree as indicated below. Students should note that expectations for graduate classes are typically more rigorous than for undergraduate classes. Students can choose from the following list of core MSSM courses; other options available upon consultation with the MSSM advisor. FIN 559 Sustainable Value Creation (fall) MGT 515 Sustainable Management (winter) MKT 555Decisions in Sustainable Marketing Management (spring) CMNS 529 Environmental Rhetoric and Politics (note: equivalent to INTC 326, students may not take both; students interested in this joint program should take CMNS 529 instead of INTC 326) Final Quarter of Senior Year During the final quarter of the bachelor s degree, students must petition for formal admission into the graduate school of business. The admission criteria are as follows: Completion of the Bachelor of Arts in or Bachelor of Science in Environmental Science A minimum cumulative DePaul grade point average of A minimum grade point average for graduate courses of After Senior Year After completion of the undergraduate degree including the three graduate courses, students take nine additional graduate classes to complete the graduate degree, for a total of twelve graduate classes. 14
