LEAP Classes

Four new courses designed for LEAP students are taken in the first two years. These courses represent the core curriculum to provide students with an understanding of how scientists, engineers, policy makers and managers approach LEAP issues and provide the basic tools necessary for defining problems, gathering information, and analyzing data. The final course will give students the opportunity to apply these principles and tools in a team research-based capstone project course.

For the remainder of their graduate program, students choose from additional elective courses depending on their individual research interests and goals. Students may select courses within their disciplines or may choose from a broad range of selective multi-disciplinary graduate courses in environmental science.
