The National Environmental Sciences Honor Society

Alpha Chapter, Wright State University

Pi Epsilon promotes the study of environmental sciences through recognition of exemplary scholarly and professional activity. Environmental science is understood to be the study of our environment and all stressors acting on it: chemical, physical, and biological. The Society seeks to promote interdisciplinary studies and foster interactions between industry and academia to further the study of environmental science.

The Alpha Chapter is actively seeking members. Membership is open to undergraduate and graduate students in the environmental and natural sciences who meet the following requirements:

  • Have a cumulative GPA of at least 3.30 out of 4.00
  • Have completed at least 54 quarter hours (36 semester) of total coursework for undergraduates and at least 12 quarter hours of total coursework for graduate students.
  • Have completed at least three quarter- or semester-length courses in environmental science (of which at least one is not an introductory course) with a cumulative GPA in those courses of at least 3.30 out of 4.00.
  • If no environmental science courses are available, courses from biology, chemistry, geology, and physics will be accepted with the following requirements:
  • Courses must be from three of the four above disciplines
  • The primary discipline of study must not exceed 75% of the total science coursework.
  • Cumulative science GPA must be at least 3.30 out of 4.00

If you meet the above requirements, you may get a membership application online at Pi Epsilon's Web site. For answers to any questions you may have, please contact one of the Alpha chapter's officers.
