Environmental Assessment

Catalog description

This course is designed to enable Environmental Studies and Sciences students at Pace to participate in the development of a draft environmental impact statement in accordance with the New York State Environmental Quality Review Act (SEQRA). The student will develop critical skills by evaluating a variety of completed local draft environmental impact statements to understand the importance of scoping and identifying the most important aspects of a proposed project. For the major projects, each student will play a unique role, representing one or more disciplines integral to the complete environmental analysis of a project.
