We are now accepting applications for the Summer 2016 session of the
Middlebury School of the Environment (MSoE).
Please pass this along to any of your undergraduate students who may
be interested in a for-credit summer program that combines coursework
in environmental studies with leadership and professional skills training.
This is a six-week, integrated program, running from June 24 to
August 5, 2016, on Middlebury College's main campus in Vermont.
The program offers nine semester-hour credits, and financial aid is available.
Our session last summer was quite successful, and I'm pleased to say
that in this coming summer we will be offering the same mix of formal
coursework and leadership training as in previous years.
The curriculum involves two different tracks of study, one on
sustainability and understanding place (taught at a more advanced
level and intended for students with previous coursework in
environmental studies) and one on systems thinking and environmental
analysis (taught at a more introductory level).
Each student, regardless of their track of study, also enrolls in one
of four electives, depending on their interests: Environmental Video
Production; Wicked Environmental Problems; Environmental Pollution;
or Religion, Nature, and Justice.
The co-curricular program on leadership training focuses on helping
students develop the skills they need as professionals to do
something effective with the information they learn in their
studies. For this, the faculty of the MSoE are joined by leading
environmental professionals and experts in a number of skills that
will enhance each student's ability to be successful no matter what
choose to do with their college education.
We're happy to talk to anyone regarding our program. Feel free to
write directly to Steve Trombulak ([email protected]), the
Director of the School, if you or your interested students have any questions.
