One of the foundations of our curriculum is the ability to pursue your passions and interests.
Maybe you’re interested in wildlife conservation? You can do field work in Kenya and Tanzania to examine how land-use practices among the Maasai sustainably manage both wildlife and an economic livelihood. Perhaps you’d like to trek coast to coast across Britain, studying historical, literary and physical elements along the way. Or explore the effectiveness of rainforest restoration in Queensland, Australia. At Dickinson, we give you the freedom to discover whatever it is you’re passionate about and to go with it.
You have the freedom to partner on projects and papers with your professors. You have the ability to design your own research project. And once you decide on a major you’ll have opportunities to pursue independent studies, write a thesis or complete a capstone project.
It’s all up to you. We’re here to provide the foundation to translate your passions into a purpose that’s designed to make you successful in whatever you choose to do.
