    Description
    This course provides an introduction to the biological concepts and principles underlying ecology and environmental science. Utilizing an interdisciplinary, case-based approach, students explore the interconnectedness of ecosystems on planet Earth by investigating human impact on local and global systems. By grappling with questions surrounding sustainability, personal responsibility, and ecological health, students will work towards the goals of developing environmental literacy and thinking scientifically about environmental issues. Lab explorations, field exercises, and field trips to local environmental sites will facilitate deeper understanding of our place in the ecosystem and provide hands-on experience throughout the course. This course meets the General Education Requirement for Science.
