INTRODUCTION TO ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE
ENVSCI 200
This course introduces the discipline of environmental science. Through the exploration of scientific principles, students will expand and develop their knowledge of ecosystem processes, energy sources, landscape change, and environmental policies. The ultimate object of the course is to become informed on the role scientific exploration plays in understanding climate change, biodiversity, sustainable development, water pollution, and other environmental issues currently facing society.
CONSERVATION BIOLOGY
ENVSCI 357
This course explores the conceptual foundations of conservation biology. We will study the primary threats to biodiversity, and pay particular attention to issues of habitat degradation and loss, overexploitation, species invasions, and climate change. We will learn and apply skills, tools, and biological principles that are used by conservation biologists to study, track, manage, and mitigate environmental threats.
ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCE CAPSTONE
ENVSCI 400
This course enables students to utilize the wide range of knowledge and skills acquired in other courses to complete an original, interdisciplinary environmental science research project while acquiring and refining crucial skills such as research design, analysis, presentation, and teamwork that will prepare them for a career in environmental sciences.
