ENV 110 - Introductory Environmental Science

An introduction to the content, methods, and philosophy of science with an emphasis on the principles of environmental science and their application to topics in research or current issues in science. Each instructor will focus on a specific area of environmental science and use inquiry in the field and laboratory to allow more in-depth study of a particular sub-discipline or interdisciplinary topic. Topics of focus may include such areas as Lessons from the Wild, Understanding the Ecological Footprint, or Recognition of Gaia (students should check course listings for current offerings). Cannot be used as elective credit towards the Environmental Science track of the Earth and Environmental Sciences major. This course may be repeated for General Elective credit when the topic differs. However, a student cannot earn credit twice for the same topic even in a different discipline (i.e. BIO). Course Typically Offered: Every semester.

Prerequisite(s): None.
