#A possible mechanism to make certain courses appropriate for an environmental studies elective plan is by focusing papers and projects on environmental topics. This would be required for Engl 3032: Creative Nonfiction and Engl 4024: Poet's Choice, but may be appropriate in other cases as well. For instance, an international relations course might be made appropriate by careful selection of paper topics.
