This level of autonomy is unique in the VES department. In contrast, the FAS handbook details explicit study tracks for students focusing in Studio Arts, Film/Video, and Film Studies. Some students consider the open-endedness of the Environmental Studies track to be liberating. Charlotte B. Winthrop ’08 explains: “The freedom to make your own plan of study isn’t a burden?...
