To develop ability to apply curricular and extracurricular-based learning, including leadership development and personal as well as interpersonal management skills, within settings appropriate to their fields, each of the school's programs of study specifies a course or mechanism of study. Examples of currently available options are cooperative education, practica, internships, independent research, and the George H. Cook Scholars Program.
Students completing two major programs offered by the School of Environmental and Biological Sciences must complete at least one experience-based education course, approved by both curricula.
