Can I do an off-campus program?

Yes! 如果你计划得当，你应该可以在大三的时候走出校园. With the permission of the Director, 你最多可以从校外项目中获得6个学分. The credits must fit into one of our major requirements. Usually students use OCS credits to satisfy a Society, Culture & 政策选修课，但不是必修课(ENTS 120, BIOL 210, HIST 205, ECON 271). A few programs can be used to satisfy a Science elective. 我们不允许学生在大四的秋季或冬季离开校园, when they are doing comps. ENTS majors often take advantage of the ENTS OCS program in Tanzania, the Biology program in Australia, and other Carleton environment-related OCS programs. Popular non-Carleton programs are Round River, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institute, SEA Semester, the ACM Costa Rica.

What student organizations do ENTS majors join?

耳鼻喉专业的学生有各种各样的兴趣，但你经常会发现他们在这样的 student organizations 如SOPE、食品真相、气候正义联盟和无国界工程师组织. They might be found at Farm House and CANOE House. You’ll find them also on college committees like CRIC or working for outside organizations like MPIRG.

What is the ENTS comps like?

ENTS Comps is a group interdisciplinary project. In the fall senior seminar, 学生们以3-4人为一组，制定一份与该年度竞赛主题相关的研究计划. 他们在冬季学期进行研究并将结果写下来. 我们在春季举办研讨会，让学生们向GG电子官方软件下载社区展示他们的研究. 有关比较过程、比较主题和比较论文示例的更多信息，请参见 visit the comps pages.

What is the Environmental Studies major?

耳鼻喉科专业是一个融合自然科学的跨学科项目, social sciences, humanities, and the arts. 它的重点是帮助学生理解和解决经济问题, ethical, social, political, historical, scientific, and aesthetic dimensions of environmental problems.

We emphasize:

  • critical thinking and information literacy
  • communication and collaborative work
  • 问题导向、服务学习和公民参与项目
  • place-based learning
  • internships and other work experiences
  • off-campus studies programs

我可以从耳鼻喉科获得暑期实习或研究助理奖学金吗?

Yes! ENTS为其专业提供6-8个暑期实习或研究助理奖学金. ENTS majors have interned at the Rocky Mountain Institute, the Sierra Club, the Environmental Defense Fund, the Real Food Challenge, environmental justice organizations, and other international, national, and local organizations. 他们也曾在GG电子官方软件下载或其他机构担任研究助理. For more details, see the internship page.

What graduate programs do ENTS majors go to?

耳鼻喉科专业为公共政策研究生课程做了很好的准备, law, public health, and related fields. 这是一个跨学科环境项目的理想准备. Majors may also go on to study economics, the natural sciences, or engineering—but if you’re interested in such programs, 你应该咨询这些院系的教员，了解你还需要哪些额外的课程.

What kinds of jobs do majors get?

耳鼻喉科专业为许多不同的职业道路提供了良好的基础. 流行的路径包括宣传或政策工作(政府机构), non-profits, think tanks, community organizing), business (management, consulting, or starting one’s own business); education (primary or secondary education, community outreach), 土地管理(为联邦或州立公园或土地管理机构工作). But ENTS majors have also pursued careers in law, public health, artistic performance, and journalism.

Visit Carleton's Pathways website for more information about career paths.

Can I combine the ENTS major with a minor?

许多耳鼻喉科专业的学生将主修和辅修结合起来，使他们在课程领域有更深入的了解. For example, 你可以选择生物化学或神经科学(为了更广泛的科学背景), political economy (for a broader foundation in public policy), or area studies (for a better international perspective).

Can I double-major?

经过适当的计划，你应该能够完成两个专业. 几乎任何其他专业都可以很好地与耳鼻喉科合作，但常见的第二专业是 Economics, Political Science, and Studio Art. 如果你主修双学位，你可以将一门课程计入两个专业. Usually this is the methods course. You might also double count statistics, 但我们不鼓励在两个专业中重复计算几门课程. 你应该和你的两位指导老师讨论你的重复计算课程的计划.

Which intro lab science course should I take?

BIO 126, CHEM 128, PHYS 152, 其中任何一门100级地质学课程都可以满足环境研究专业的实验科学要求.

在选择你的实验科学时，考虑一下你最感兴趣的科学选修课:

  • If you’re interested in ecology courses, BIO 126 is a good choice.
  • If you’re interested in energy issues, consider PHYS 152.
  • CHEM 128 is useful if you’re interested in pollution or climate change.
  • Geology is useful if you’re interested in water issues.

如果我想报耳鼻喉科专业，我现在应该修哪些课程?

第一年可以从介绍性的实验科学开始，比如生物126或化学128. It’s also a good idea to take ECON 111 (Microeconomics), MATH 215 (Statistics), ENTS 120 (Intro to GIS), 以及全球变化生物(Bio 210).

The other core courses (American Environmental History, 和环境经济与政策)通常在大三, along with research methods (ENTS 232).

Electives may be taken any time. 课程在大四的秋季和冬季学期完成(这些学期你必须在校)。.

My Society, Culture, and Policy elective actually has a lot of science in it. Why can’t I count it as a science elective?

我们将自然科学课程定义为专注于创建物理过程模型的课程, testing those models experimentally (in the lab or field), and revising them accordingly. This captures the essence of the scientific process. 专注于这一过程的课程被恰当地归类为自然科学选修课, even if they engage policy questions as well. 仅将科学信息作为经济或政策模型输入的课程将被视为非科学选修课.

环境研究和环境科学有什么区别?

一些高中和大学提供环境科学课程或项目，主要侧重于与环境问题相关的自然科学. GG电子官方软件下载的环境研究项目确实需要一些自然科学课程(包括生态学), geology, and some basic courses on climate science). 但它也需要一些社会科学和人文学科的课程, including economics, history, and electives from fields such as ethics, political science, literature, and anthropology.  这个程序允许您探索环境问题的人类层面, 以及学习如何运用科学知识来解决环境问题.

Can I substitute other courses for the required courses?

You can substitute Math 245, 265, or 275 for MATH 215. 我们鼓励你安排你的时间表，这样你就可以参加ENTS研究方法课程(ENTS 232), but if you can’t, you can substitute ECON 329 , POSC 230 , or SOAN 240.

在导师的建议下，在主任的允许下，可以进行其他替换. However, 我们强烈反对用其他课程代替核心课程(美国环境史), Global Change Biology, Environmental Economics and Policy, Introduction to GIS, and Research Methods).

What AP credits can count toward the major?

如果您在经济学AP考试中获得5分，我们将免除ECON 111(微观经济学)的要求. 如果你在统计学AP考试中得到4或5分，我们也会放弃STAT 120. 这些是唯一计入专业的AP课程 College policy for earning credit for AP courses).
