Advanced Seminar in Environmental Policy and Sustainability Management (EPSM)
The Advanced Seminar provides students a capstone experience, typically during the final semester of enrollment in the EPSM Program. The purpose of the seminar is to provide students a culminating, research-based experience through an individual research project and to afford the opportunity to each student to reflect upon and discuss the curricular and extra-curricular dimensions of their graduate education in a manner that encourages an integrative approach to that experience.
