With program permission, the following earth or water science courses offered at Notre Dame may be used to fulfill this requirement: CE 20110 – Planet Earth, CE 20520 – Environmental Mineralogy, CE 20320 – Environmental Aquatic Chemistry.
Students fulfill this proficiency requirement by receiving approval for a portfolio of three writing projects drawn from multiple disciplines contributing to environmental studies. The portfolio will include the paper completed in ENVS 495 Comprehensive Project Seminar; the other two projects included will vary with the student’s major concentration and selection of courses.
The Senior Comprehensive requirement in Environmental Studies is fulfilled by successful completion of ENVS 495 Comprehensive Project Seminar and department approval of the paper and oral presentation based on the student’s comprehensive project.
