Area I. School Mission: Interdisciplinary Critical Analysis


The undergraduate program's goals are to help students develop the abilities to think critically; address problems with a variety of modes of inquiry; and recognize and assess ethical problems related to the environment, natural resources, food and human nutrition, and agriculture, in order to make decisions based upon an understanding of the long- and short-term implications of the various choices. As a means of meeting these goals, students are required to complete one 3-credit junior/senior colloquium course. This colloquium course is a capstone, integrative educational experience for students concluding their undergraduate studies, enabling them to synthesize information and techniques gained in previous courses. Working cooperatively with peers who have different capabilities and interests and using the case study method, students in these courses devise creative, interdisciplinary solutions to multifaceted problems with ethical, social, political, and technical content in the school's mission areas. Current lists of the junior/ senior colloquia offerings are posted on the school's website: http://www.sebs.rutgers.edu/colloquium.
