In response to the perceived need to improve the quality of science instruction and the public's scientific literacy, a model introductory course sequence is being developed as part of a new comprehensive undergraduate Program in Environmental Science and Policy. An integrated series of "magnet' courses for undergraduates is being created that consists of freshman seminars, which will broaden opportunities for the non-major and major alike, and a new one-semester introductory course based on case studies, which will provide a more interactive entry into science. Graduate and undergraduate students are participating in the development of both types of courses and testing their efficacy, and the effort is being evaluated by an outside consultant. The new comprehensive program will serve as an important model for the further development of the entire science curriculum, both for the non-major and major.

为了满足提高科学教学质量和公众科学素养的需求，正在开发一个示范性入门课程序列，作为新的环境科学与政策综合本科课程的一部分。 正在为本科生创建一系列综合的“磁石”课程，其中包括新生研讨会，这将为非专业和专业学生拓宽机会，以及基于案例研究的新的一学期入门课程，这将提供更具互动性的科学入门。研究生和本科生正在参与这两种类型课程的开发并测试其有效性，并且这些努力正在由外部顾问进行评估。 新的综合课程将成为进一步发展整个科学课程（无论是非专业还是专业）的重要模式。
