When we try to pick out anything by itself,
we find it hitched to everything else in the Universe.

Skyline's Environmental Assessment Program (EAP) is designed to provide a unique research opportunity for students. Students enrolled in Biology, Chemistry, and Geology courses including 690 (Independent Study) courses undertake original, independent research projects. After transferring, one student said Skyline's science program encouraged "independent thinking and self­directed studying." Through the EAP, students work individually with faculty and other science professionals.
