Eligibility Criteria
Preference for admission to this program is given to full-time degree-seeking students at the Consortium Colleges: Macalester, Pomona, and Swarthmore (Haverford and Bryn Mawr students are included under the auspices of Swarthmore). Other qualified students may apply and be accepted on a space-available basis through special arrangement with the Consortium.

Applicants must demonstrate a sustained intellectual interest in the program theme, usually through a declared major in a relevant field of study, particularly in the area of environmental studies or science. Although other students may gain acceptance, priority is given to those with a minimum cumulative grade point average of 3.5 (4.0 scale) who have reached at least third year (junior) status. Priority will also be given to those students who have completed four semesters of environmental studies-related courses, of which at least two are in natural sciences and at least one in the social sciences. Within the agreed guidelines of the Consortium, each member institution determines how its students will meet the academic pre-requisites of the program. (Students should contact the appropriate department at their home institution and their study abroad office for detailed information on this). Application forms are available from each Consortium College�s study abroad office.
