I know it's not GEP, but it's a great program for students interested
in environment. Please let your students know about this fantastic
opportunity. Feel free to send any questions or students to me.
COME STUDY AT THE GRAND CANYON – THE OLDEST CLASSROOM ON EARTH
The Grand Canyon Semester, at Northern Arizona University, Fall 2009.
The Grand Canyon Semester is co-sponsored by Northern Arizona
University and Grand Canyon National Park in an innovative
partnership. Throughout the semester students work with experts from
the Park, the U.S Geological Survey, the Bureau of Land Management,
Bureau of Reclamation, as well as NAU faculty and staff. Students
typically complete 16 hours of upper division credit, including an
independent research project. The courses are taught cooperatively,
and faculty members are involved in all aspects of the curriculum.
All students enroll in all classes, creating a cohesive community for
the term – and long after. Participants spend time on the campus of
Northern Arizona University, the south rim of the Canyon, on numerous
extended field trips around the region, and on a Colorado River trip
through the Grand Canyon – the highlight of the semester for most
students!
Courses for Fall 2009 include:
GCS 350 Managing Grand Canyon National Park
GLG 303 Grand Canyon Natural Science
PRM 446 Wildland Protected Area Management
POS 347 Environmental Politics of the Colorado Plateau
GCS 352 Grand Canyon Aesthetics
