JH: Field work was always important in our program, that’s the reason we like setting it locally, we can get students into the field in classes, in field trips, but also when we wrote the major, we wrote the major to include a field component, or an internship component where the student has to spend a semester or a summer working in the environmental field, usually in the field literally, in the woods, or the desert, or the tundra, or whatever it is, so that’s very important to us, the field component is absolutely essential. We haven’t required it for the minor, but we do require it for the major. We start students out from the freshman program, getting them out in the field every week, on field trips, so they can get used to the notion that this has got class, but also it’s in the field so you get some practical experience.
