I am a 2000 graduate of the ENS Masters program. After coming from a very large university, it was refreshing to be in an environment where the student-to-faculty ratio was very reasonable. What also attracted me was the diversity of the program. I had heard that 鈥淪angamon State鈥� (UIS鈥� former name) was progressive in nature and indeed the courses reflected this fact. I did not have the 鈥渉ard-science鈥� background yet I was encouraged to enroll in several such courses including environmental chemistry and toxicology.
