Field Studies

The UEI curriculum challenges students to look at their city with new eyes. Field studies students engage in science education that fosters a sense of wonder about the health their urban environment. The field studies curriculum challenges students to reflect on the relationship between environmental and social justice. Field Studies students develop unique research questions through hands-on field ecology investigations and collaborate with peers from across Boston at our annual student conferences.
