DES's Innovative Curriculum

DES's innovative curriculum is designed to train future environmental science and policy, and health professionals. Many activities are designed around open-ended problems where the process of solution-seeking often is more important than the solution itself.

The Department's curriculum was refined by a National Science Foundation grant through the Course, Curriculum, and Laboratory Improvement Program.
