Experience is Education We are The GREEN Program. We travel with graduate and undergraduate students to Peru, Philadelphia, and Iceland to explore best practices in sustainability from world leaders and earn transferrable credit.  As a Villanova student, you are eligible for our Back to School Special worth $200 off of your deposit, if accepted, until August 30th.  Enrollment is now open for our Winter and Spring programs in Peru and Iceland. The GREEN Program Peru Water Resource Management + Sustainability Universidad San Ignacio de Loyola 2 Academic Credits Through recent years, Peru has overcome hardships with water sanitation and flourished with their water resource management and sustainable practices. Join The GREEN Peru Program to discover how Peru utilizes methods from the Inca Empire and modern day technologies for water initiatives and a sustainable future. This program is accredited by Universidad San Ignacio de Loyola with a transcript for 2 transferrable academic credits. The GREEN Peru Program is created for motivated students who are on a mission towards global water stewardship and sustainability solutions. The GREEN Program Philadelphia Sustainable Design and Urban Regeneration Philadelphia University College of Architecture and the Built Environment This 9-day, high impact exploration will provide a crash course through the M.S. in Sustainable Design program at Philadelphia University, which was developed by a group of the country’s top sustainability practitioners and experienced sustainability professors. We chose Philadelphia for this program, because it is the quintessential American City in terms of post-recession recovery and response. The millennial population is growing; the suburbs and urban areas are battling for talent and population; and the public and private space bear the challenge for (re)developing spaces with imbued historical legacy.  The GREEN Program Iceland Renewable Energy + Sustainability Reykjavik University Iceland School of Energy Discover Iceland’s innovation in renewable energy, dive into authentic Nordic culture, and participate on adventure excursions you never even realized you wanted to have on your bucket list. This program is accredited by Reykjavik University’s Iceland School of Energy for 1.5 transferable academic credits (or 3 ECTs). Gain a comprehensive understanding along with a personal familiarity of the science and technology behind renewable energy systems: hydroelectric, geothermal, wind power, and biofuels. Attain a clear grasp of cost analyses and environmental impact of renewable energy production facilities in historical, present and future context.

Devin Smith   Villanova University / Environmental Science / Iceland Summer Renewable Energy 2014 GREEN Program Ambassador 2015 "I plan to pursue a career incorporating sustainable practices into the business world. The Green Program, focused on renewable energy through the eyes of industry leaders and energy companies, would be a phenomenal opportunity to take a quick, deep dive into sustainable practices as well as create an important relationship network.  As I discover my exact career path, merging renewable energy innovation and business enterprise is a fascinating direction.     I am excited to participate in a program that incorporates classroom as well as hands on learning. The Green Program is a perfect opportunity to further my environmental education and leadership skills. I am an eager and adventurous student who loves trying new things.  I have been given numerous leadership opportunities, ranging from captainships on past sports teams to the leadership class I am currently enrolled in as part of the Honors Program at Villanova University. I plan to extend this leadership later in life, creating change and a positive impact on the environment. The Green Program would be a great place for me to start that journey."

LSA Chemistry - University of Michigan

Graduate Study - University of Michigan

The Chemistry graduate program at the University of Michigan is highly interdisciplinary and covers traditional areas of Chemistry and Biochemistry as well as emerging areas at the interface with Applied Physics, Material Science, Medicine, Engineering and Science Education.  Students in the U-M Chemistry graduate program come from a wide range of backgrounds.  Our graduate curriculum combines courses that provide a solid foundation in the core areas of Chemistry as well as advanced courses tailored to specialized interests.  Our graduate students participate in a unique research rotation system, providing the opportunity to try out different areas of Chemistry before choosing a research mentor.  Following the choice of a research group, our students work as part of interdisciplinary teams that often include students and researchers from a broad range of other programs.

Our graduate program provides support (including family health and dental insurance) through a combination of sources to students during their first year.  During subsequent years, graduate students in good standing generally receive financial support, including summer salary and family health and dental insurance, through their mentor's grants. There are also opportunities to participate in a number of different training grants and teaching opportunities.  You will find detailed information on our web site, which we invite you to explore at http://www.lsa.umich.edu/chem.
