Environmental Science
Course Overview
Environmental Science is designed to introduce students to major ecological concepts as well as give them the space to explore the interactions between humans and their environment. In this course students will investigate various environmental problems that affect the world in which we live. Students will become familiar with the scientific principles, concepts, and methodologies required to understand the interrelationships of the natural world, to identify and analyze environmental problems both natural and human-made, to evaluate the relative risks associated with these problems, and to examine alternative solutions for resolving and/or preventing them. Students in Environmental Science are required to order a complete science kit with materials for hands-on labs related to content covered in the class. Labs are conducted during our synchronous live sessions, with the instructor monitoring lab work.
