PSM-ENIN - Professional Science, Environmental Informatics Concentration, P.S.M.

Fast-Track in Environmental Informatics

This will allow selected undergraduates to enroll for up to six (6) hours of graduate courses prior to formal admission to the P.S.M., Environmental Informatics program. The courses taken during the students junior/senior year can be used to satisfy both undergraduate and graduate degree requirements. Participation does not change the requirements for either the undergraduate or graduate program in Environmental Informatics. Once admitted to this program, the student will be allowed to enroll in appropriate courses in the junior or senior year with the consent of the students undergraduate advisor and the Director of the P.S.M. program. Courses completed at the Graduate Level are only guaranteed to apply to the completion of the P.S.M. Environmental Informatics program.

Admission to Fast-Track

Minimum requirements for admission are:

• Applicant must be earning a baccalaureate degree in a related field, which will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis

• Recommendation of a faculty member in the student's major

• Overall GPA of 3.0

• Program participants should consult with their future P.S.M. advisor regarding appropriate graduate courses to take during their junior/senior year.

• The student must earn a minimum grade of B in the graduate courses in order to apply them to their P.S.M program of study.

• All requirements for full admission to Graduate School must be met upon undergraduate graduation. Students in the Fast-Track program must still apply for admission to the Graduate School and meeting Fast-Track requirements does not necessarily guarantee admission to the PSM-Environmental Informatics degree program.

• Students who do not succeed in their first graduate course (B grade or better) will be advised to withdraw from the Fast Track program and complete their B.S. degree in a normal manner.

Fulfilling the above minimum requirements does not guarantee acceptance into the Professional Science Masters, Environmental Informatics Fast Track program. Students who meet the above minimum requirements must consult with the College of Interdisciplinary Studies and the School of Environmental Studies for eligibility and acceptance.
