Pi Epsilon the National Environmental Sciences Honor Society
The goal of Baylor's Chapter of Pi Epsilon the National Environmental Sciences Honor Society is to reward academic excellence in undergraduate and graduate students as well as provide opportunities for members to promote academic excellence. To be eligible as a regular member of the Society, students must be enrolled in an interdisciplinary environmental science program at an accredited institution where a chapter of Pi Epsilon is established. If the institution does not offer an interdisciplinary environmental science program, students must be enrolled in a natural science program at an accredited institution where a chapter of Pi Epsilon is established. Undergraduates and graduates may apply for membership if they fulfill the following criteria:
Undergraduates must:
Have completed at least 36 semester hours (54 quarter hours) of coursework with a cumulative grade point average of at least 3.30.
Have completed at least three quarter- or semester-length courses in environmental science, of which at least one is not an introductory course, with cumulative grade point average of 3.30 out of 4.00 or its equivalent in those environmental science courses.
Be in good academic standing.
If the institution does not offer an interdisciplinary environmental science program, course of study must consist of at least two of the natural science disciplines, with coursework in one discipline not to exceed 75% of the total science coursework.
Natural science courses must include courses in at least two of the four following disciplines: biology, chemistry, geology, and physics.
Students will be invited to join Pi Epsilon as a member if they meet the criteria as listed above. Please reach out to melinda_coogan@baylor.edu and/or baylorpiepsilon@gmail.com for more information on the necessary qualifications for membership eligibility.
