This Extended Accelerator Program is a three-semester program for students seeking an immersive English-learning experience. The program gives students a firsthand practical and cultural understanding of the Auburn University campus and the Auburn, Alabama, area through its contextual curriculum. Upon completion of the program, students progress into year two of their undergraduate education with a full year’s worth of academic credits. The Bachelor of Science in Environmental Design is a flexible multi-disciplinary degree. The degree content includes the five core environmental design courses, directed electives, and free electives. Students are encouraged to use the free electives to earn one or two minors. Two summers of coursework are required for the environmental design workshop course series. A degree is a good option for students who are interested in pursuing graduate studies in design, planning, and construction-related programs. Building its strength on the understanding of the interconnected nature of all design and construction disciplines, the Bachelor of Science in Environmental Design is a multidisciplinary degree that emphasizes the blend of sustainable practices from a local and global context with comprehensive design and systems thinking. Flexibility in the Environmental Design degree allows students to customize their education experience by providing the opportunity to minor in multiple subjects that are of particular interest to the student. A strong foundation in the fisheries, biological and physical sciences readies students in this option for admission and professional schools, such as veterinary and human activities.

Auburn University has developed into one of the largest universities in the South, remaining in the educational forefront with its traditional blend of arts and applied science and changing with today’s needs while living with a respect for Auburn's traditions and spirit.
