SCI-South initiatives are open to participants around the U.S. but are primarily designed to address the needs and interests of individuals in Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, Oklahoma, South Carolina, Tennessee, and West Virginia
The SCI-South group has broad expertise among its members, but has a particular interest in the environment, conservation biology, sustainability, interdisciplinary science education, undergraduate research, SENCER and science major courses, pre-med curricula, exportable course modules, international collaborations, large curricular revisions, and assessment. SCI-South leadership is available to consult with universities and colleges interested in promoting SENCER-related curriculum and programming on their campuses.

About the Host Institution: University of North Carolina at Asheville
The University of North Carolina at Asheville is the host institution for SCI-South. UNC Asheville is North Carolina’s designated public liberal arts institution, and embraces creative expression, the centrality of learning, rigorous undergraduate scholarship, exemplary teaching, and an informed commitment to serving the community.
In addition to offering SENCER courses for both science and non-science majors, UNCA applies the SENCER philosophy to its Integrative Liberal Studies (ILS) Topical Clusters, in which each of our students is required to complete three courses (natural science, social science, and an elective) from a list of courses focused on an important societal topic.
