综合研究理学学士-应用全球保护

综合研究理学学士学位汇集了众多学科的研究，理论和实践。综合研究专业选择一个多学科的专业或与学生服务人员一起发展他们自己的专业，这完全适合他们的学术和职业目标。综合研究专业的学生探索新的主题和经验，同时获得进入劳动力市场所需的知识和技能。小型班级提供必修课程，并有足够的讨论，协作学习和体验式学习的空间，包括社区项目，志愿者机会，现场工作，实习以及与研究人员合作直接应对当前社会和全球挑战的研究。如何有效应对全球保护挑战，例如气候变化，生物多样性丧失和生态系统崩溃。这些挑战非常复杂，需要采取跨学科的方法，要利用
The bachelor of science in Integrative Studies brings together research, theory and practice across numerous disciplines. Integrative studies majors select a multidisciplinary concentration or work with student services staff to develop their own concentration, uniquely suited to their academic and career goals. Integrative studies majors explore new topics and experiences while gaining the knowledge and skills needed to enter the workforce. Required coursework is offered in small classes with ample room for discussion, collaborative learning, and experiential learning, including in-community projects, volunteer opportunities, field work, internships and work with faculty on research that directly engages current social and global challenges.Students learn how to effectively address global conservation challenges, such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and ecosystem collapse. These challenges are complex and necessitate an interdisciplinary approach, drawing upon fields such as biology, policy, law, anthropology, sociology, conflict resolution, environmental justice, economics and communication.Students learn how to effectively address global conservation challenges, such as climate change, biodiversity loss, and ecosystem collapse. These challenges are complex and necessitate an interdisciplinary approach, drawing upon fields such as biology, policy, law, anthropology, sociology, conflict resolution, environmental justice, economics and communication. Students learn to apply their knowledge and effect real-world change. With access to the Smithsonian-Mason Semester and international conservation organizations in the Washington, DC area, our graduates are well positioned to compete in today's diverse conservation job market or enter graduate school.
