Environmental Studies Class 11 Pdf

[Inacayal Tanoesoedibjo]

Recognizingthe interplay of technology, culture, economics and politics involved in the issues facing the future of our planet, we take an interdisciplinary approach to environmental studies. We give our environmental studies students a solid grounding in the natural and social sciences, allowing them to focus on the areas they wish to pursue.

The environmental studies minor at Adelphi offers students from every major a basic grounding in the scientific, technical, social and cultural issues presented by the interaction of human beings with their environment and the need to build a more environmentally sustainable future.

This exciting 4+1 accelerated environmental studies program gives students a solid foundation in climate and environmental studies, with a particular emphasis on human adaptations to climate change and environmental degradation or topics like green energy or promoting environmentally-friendly societies.

As part of my STEP training, I taught a course to Adelphi undergrads that examined sustainable initiatives through social, economic and environmental lenses. I loved engaging students from diverse backgrounds in hands-on activities that asked them to think critically about their impact on the environment.

Classroom learning is just the beginning of your environmental studies education at Adelphi in New York on Long Island. From the nearby shores of Nassau County to destinations across the globe, providing field experience is a vital part of our curriculum. Experiential opportunities include:

The major and minor offer interdisciplinary studies on issues related to the environment. Students take core and elective courses that address the environment from a wide range of fields, including anthropology, biology and ecology, chemistry and physics, economics, history, political science, sociology, theology and ethics. The major is ideal for students who intend to pursue a career that focuses on the environment (e.g., environmental management, restoration, mitigation, consulting, policy, economics), or who intend to pursue graduate or professional school in environmental science, law, business, policy, economics, philosophy, theology or ethics.

The college challenges students to embrace, seek to understand and engage actively in the complexities of the world in which we live. Courses in the Marquette Core Curriculum (MCC), drawn from the different disciplines within the humanities, natural sciences and social sciences, provide multiple perspectives and methods of inquiry. The MCC serves as the foundation for the intellectual growth of our students as they pursue their majors and professional disciplines, and as they develop into men and women who dedicate their lives to the service of others.

Courses in the majors provide in depth knowledge and skills concerning a particular area of study. The college offers a wide variety of discipline-based majors in the Humanities (English, History, Philosophy, Theology and Languages, Literatures and Cultures); in the Social Sciences (Anthropology, Criminology and Law, Economics, Political Science, Psychology, Sociology and Social Welfare and Justice); and in the Sciences (Biology, Chemistry, Physics, Math, Statistics and Computer Science). In addition, a wide range of majors and minors are offered in interdisciplinary areas of study including Africana Studies, Bioinformatics, Cognitive Science and Gender and Sexualities Studies, among others.

The combination of courses required by the Marquette Core Curriculum and individual majors in the College of Arts and Sciences ensures that students are educated both broadly and deeply, in keeping with long-standing Jesuit educational ideals and principles.

Students are required to complete ARSC 1953 Exploring Arts and Sciences during the fall term of their first year at Marquette. Students in the Honors Program are exempt from this requirement. Advanced standing transfer students who have completed a similar course at another institution may ask the college to waive the requirement.

The Klingler College of Arts and Sciences requires knowledge of a language other than English for the bachelor of arts degree. This ensures that students are able to succeed in an increasingly globalized and rapidly changing world. The study of languages is the starting point for exploration and understanding of diverse cultures and traditions. Contacts between cultures happen in our own lives every day, and more often than ever before: knowing a second language is essential for being part of a global society. Our language programs in American Sign Language, Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Italian and Spanish prepare students to interact effectively and engage other people and cultures in the most human way possible. Students of Classical languages encounter Greek and Roman civilization as something that is very much a living part of our culture today (philosophy, theater, poetry, medicine, politics and much more).

Students are required to demonstrate proficiency in a second language at the intermediate level (usually requiring 0-15 credits of course work, depending on the student's proficiency upon entering the university), according to the standard of the American Council for the Teaching of Foreign Languages. Upon entering the university, students with previous study of a second language are assessed using a placement test. Those earning a score at the intermediate level are considered to have satisfied the second language requirement. Those who do not achieve proficiency through the test satisfy the requirement as follows:

Undergraduate students must meet the graduation requirements that are outlined in the Undergraduate Bulletin in effect the year in which they enter Marquette. Substitutions or waivers for specific courses that are required for degree completion may occur, as determined by the Klingler College of Arts and Sciences.

Students who interrupt their enrollment from the university follow the degree requirements from the bulletin in effect during the academic year of their readmission. In rare cases, the college may determine that readmitted students fall under a different set of degree requirements than the academic year in which they are readmitted. Policies and regulations in effect at the time of return apply to all students, regardless of the term of initial enrollment.

It is the responsibility of students to know and fulfill the requirements for graduation specified for the selected plan. Students are encouraged to use the Academic Advisement degree audit system, which is accessed via their Student Center and tracks courses that have been completed, as well as the Marquette Core Curriculum, college curricular requirements and major/minor requirements toward degree completion.

Although most students can fulfill the Marquette Core Curriculum requirements, the college curricular requirements, their major requirements and elective courses without exceeding 120 credits, certain combinations of major and minor fields may require more than the minimum. Students are urged, therefore, to consult an adviser before selecting a major and any additional majors or minors.

It is the responsibility of students to know and to fulfill all university, Klingler College of Arts and Sciences and major department requirements (See the corresponding sections of this bulletin for additional information regarding the Marquette Core Curriculum, university graduation and residency requirements, college curricular requirements and department major and minor requirements).

Students are required to graduate at the end of the term in which all degree requirements are completed. Degree requirements are those requirements, including university, college and all other requirements necessary to earn a minimum of one undergraduate degree and any declared degrees/majors/minors/concentrations. That is, additional degrees/majors/minors/concentrations may be earned; however, they must be completed in the same term as the first degree/primary major is completed. Except in the case of readmission, undergraduate students must meet the graduation requirements which are stated in the Undergraduate Bulletin issued for the year in which they entered Marquette. Substitutions or waivers for specific courses required for degree completion may occur, as determined by the college and/or the Marquette Core Curriculum committee.

The grade point average is used to compute graduation Latin honors. The computation is made by dividing the total number of grade points earned at Marquette University by the total number of grade point hours earned. The official Marquette GPA of all students is calculated by the student information system and this GPA is not rounded up or down for any reason. To graduate with Latin honors, candidates must be pursuing their first bachelor's degree, earned at least 60 grade point hours and 60 degree hours at Marquette University, normally as a junior and senior. First bachelor's degree is defined as the first bachelor's degree earned from any institution. When students earn a concurrent additional bachelor's degree (i.e., finish in the same term as the first bachelor's degree), the additional degree is also eligible for Graduation Latin Honors, if the first bachelor's degree qualifies.

Graduates whose grade point average is 3.500, graduate with cum laude (Latin for 'with honor'); graduates whose grade point average is 3.700, graduate with magna cum laude (Latin for 'with great honor'); and graduates whose grade point average is 3.900, graduate with summa cum laude (Latin for 'with highest honor'). Graduation Latin honors are recorded on diplomas, noted in the published lists of graduates at Commencement and recorded on students' transcript.

The academic record of students is frozen once the degree is posted and may not be altered thereafter, unless required to do so by law and/or a documented university error is discovered after the degree is posted. This includes, but is not limited to: all relevant grade point averages, grades, additional information relating to the degree(s), major(s), minor(s), concentration(s), Latin Honors and academic censure.
