在某些情况下，所定义的集中度可能无法满足计划中学生的兴趣或职业志向。学生可以发展和追求个性化的学习重点。个性化的集中课程必须处理学位课程中广泛反映的生态学和环境科学的某些方面。在缅因大学已经提供学位的地区，可能无法开发出个性化的课程。因此，例如，虽然“¢野生生物”显然是自然生态系统的一部分，但由于大学已经存在野生生物生态学学位课程，因此这对于个体化集中来说并不是一个合适的组织概念。缅因州。通常，构成个性化集中的课程工作应主要来自缅因大学提供的课程。希望进行个性化学习的学生应与参加EES计划的教员一起进行指
The Bachelor of Science in Ecology and Environmental Sciences is an interdisciplinary program offered cooperatively by the faculties of the Department of Anthropology, Department of Wildlife, Fisheries and Conservation Biology, School of Earth and Climate Sciences, School of Food and Agriculture, School of Biology and Ecology, School of Economics, and School of Forest Resources. Students majoring in the program are advised by over thirty-five faculty from these units. The program is designed for students who wish to pursue a professional career in ecology and environmental sciences in one of many applications: management, administration, planning, education, research or graduate school. In some cases, the defined concentrations may not meet the interests or career aspirations of students in the program. Students may develop and pursue an individualized concentration of study., Individualized concentrations must deal with some aspect of ecology and environmental sciences as broadly reflected in the degree program. Individualized concentrations may not be developed for areas where degrees are already being offered at the University of Maine. So, for example, while wildlife is clearly part of natural ecosystems, this would not be an appropriate organizing concept for an individualized concentration since a degree program in wildlife ecology already exists at the University of Maine. Generally, the course work that makes up an individualized concentration should be largely drawn from courses offered at the University of Maine.
