3.00 Credits
3 Credit Hours d.b.a. Consumers still drive the U.S. economy. Retailing today is at an interesting crossroads. As consumers spend ever more of their disposable income, the industry that exchanges that tender for goods is faced with unique opportunities. Franchising, niche marketing, aggressive point-of-sale merchandising, the use of the Internet, and competitive pricing strategies combine to make the exchange of goods for money a complex science. This course will prepare students for entrance into the dynamic, fascinating, psychologically- driven, fast-paced and ever-changing retail business sector. (3 hours lecture). Prerequisite: Principles of Marketing (MKT 300).

3.00 Credits
3 Credit Hours Fall Sem. This course is a study of the principles and techniques of environmental resource analysis, landscape and scenery classification, and procedures for environmental quality and impact analysis. The course will present basic information on land classification, landscape patterns, function and evaluation. It will define the difference between foreground, middle ground, and background and stress their importance in enhancing or detracting from the visitor experience. (3 hours lecture). Prerequisite: Design and Administration of Recreational Facilities (REC 275).

3.00 Credits
3 Credit Hours Fall Sem. This course will expose the students to the practices and concepts of land-use and site planning as used to guide and direct development. The course will give the students an appreciation of how the bio-physical environment and human social systems can be made to work together through the planning process. Skills that will be developed include ecological analysis, cartography, and social science research methods. The course will examine case studies where different approaches to land use planning were used. It will look at the similarities and differences among the case studies, within the context of the goals, politics, economics and cultural differences. (3 hours lecture). Prerequisite: General Ecology (BIO 210) or equivalent.

3.00 Credits
3 Credit Hours Fall Sem. This course provides an introduction to the basic concepts of wilderness designation and management. Students will study wilderness management in the United States with an emphasis on the Adirondacks. Course material also includes the study of the leisure concept, its impact on wilderness use and how regulatory agencies deal with it. Students have a first-hand opportunity to meet and talk with regional wilderness managers. (2 hours lecture, 4 hours lab). Prerequisite: Introduction to Recreation (REC 101) or permission of the instructor.
-
4.00 Credits
4 Credit Hours Fall Sem. In this course students will learn the principles of watershed management as related to land form, water quantity and quality, land use practices, and social organizations. The course will teach students the value of the watershed as a unit of study for environmental analysis. Students will understand how land management within the watershed affects water quality. The students will also learn why and how these factors relate to human settlement patterns and the socio-economic conditions in the watershed. The course will emphasize the effect of vegetation on watershed management. (3 hours lecture, 3 hours lab). Prerequisites: Biology I and II (BIO 101, BIO 102).
-
3.00 Credits
3 Credit Hours d.b.a. Landscape ecology is the youngest of the ecological sciences and is growing largely because of recent concern for maintaining and restoring environmental quality and habitat integrity. In fact, an understanding of the ecology of landscapes (and regions) is central to effective decision making in conservation planning, management and policy development. In this course, ecological structure, function, and change over both time and space will be addressed in the context of both landscapes and regions. We will look beyond typical land use and political boundaries to consider the broader spatial context of human activities and their impacts. (3 hours lecture). Prerequisites: Biology I and II (BIO 101, BIO 102) and General Ecology (BIO 210) or permission of the instructor.
-
3.00 Credits
3 Credit Hours d.b.a. This will be a topical course in natural resources management. In this course students will examine issues of present-day importance to the management of natural resources. The topic of study will change from year to year, as different issues gain prominence. Although the topics will change, the purpose of the course will remain the same. That purpose will be to provide a forum to engage the students in the national, state, or local debate on the management of natural resources. (3 hours lecture). Prerequisite: Watershed Management (NRS 340), Land Use Planning (NRS 331) and Conservation Biology (ENV 330).
-
4.00 Credits
4 Credit Hours Fall/Spring Sems. A non-calculus based approach to physics introducing the student to the fundamental principles of physics. Topics include dynamics, statics, strength of materials, mechanical work and energy, heat, and electricity. Laboratory work is designed to illustrate the principles discussed in lecture. (3 hours lecture, 3 hours lab). Prerequisite: College Algebra (MAT 125).
-
4.00 Credits
4 Credit Hours Fall Sem. This course will introduce students to the branch of physics known as classical mechanics, through a variety of classroom activities. Students will learn about the parameters that describe motion and the inter-relationships between motion and force that are embodied in Newton's laws. They will specifically study straight line motion, plane motion, rotation, equilibrium, and gravitation. Through this study, students will become familiar with the basic concepts that form the foundation of natural science. (3 hours lecture, 3 hours lab).
-
4.00 Credits
4 Credit Hours d.b.a. Students continue the study of physics that they began in Physics I (PHY 241). They will continue their study of mechanics with an introduction to fluid mechanics, harmonic wave motion, and sound. In addition, they will study thermodynamics with an emphasis on heat engines and kinetic theory. Finally, they will study electromagnetism. Through this study, students will become familiar with the basic concepts that form the foundation of natural science. (3 hours lecture, 3 hours lab). Prerequisite: Physics I (PHY 241).
