2.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 111/111L-112/112L or ENVS 101/101L-102/102L, or permission of instructor. Three hours lecture and three hours laboratory. One-half semester modular course paired with another related half-semester modular course. This multi-disciplinary course addresses biological diversity at the genetic, population, and species levels. In particular, human impacts on diversity are studied and practical approaches to understanding and preventing extinction are explored.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: satisfactory completion of the following: BIOL 111/111L, or ENVS 101/101L and 102/102. This course teaches the principles and techniques of forest management from both economic and environmental standpoints. Students will be trained in silviculture, dendrology, and timber cruising and harvesting during lectures, labs, and field trips. Topics related to timber harvesting such as watershed management, wildlife conservation, rangeland management, global climate change, and outdoor recreation will also be explored. The importance of managing forests so that they do not become depleted will be the over-riding theme of the course.

2.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 111/111L- 112/112L or ENVS 101/101L-102/102L, or permission of instructor. Three hours lecture and three hours laboratory. One-half semester modular course paired with another related half-semester modular course. This course examines the mechanisms underlying large-scale ecological processes and their changes across space and time. The relationships among landscape structure, resource distributions, and populations are studied with an emphasis at the ecosystem level.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: MATH 103, CHEM 104-105, or permission of instructor. Three hours lecture and three hours laboratory. This course is a study of the principles and theory of surface water and groundwater flow, chemistry, and quality; understanding and determination of water budget, hydrologic cycle, and Darcy's law; social, political, and economic issues related to hydro-logical systems.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 111/111L-112/112L or ENVS 101/101L-102/102L, or permission of instructor. Three hours lecture and three hours laboratory. This course focuses on ways in which oceans function and ocean interact with earth systems. Consideration is given to ocean currents and vertical mixing, water chemistry, heat and energy transfer, sea floor geology, and coastal processes.

4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 111/111L- 112/112L or ENVS 101/ 101L-102/102L, or permission of instructor. Three hours lecture and three hours laboratory. This course is a study of the earth's structure, composition, surface features and processes, rocks, minerals, mountain building, volcanoes, earthquakes, and the weathering and erosional effects of wind, water, and ice.
-
4.00 Credits
Prerequisites: BIOL 111/111L- 112/112L or ENVS 101/101L-102/102L, or permission of instructor. Three hours lecture and three hours laboratory. This course looks through the earth's past through the record hidden in the rocks and the fossils contained within and includes a study of the development of life on earth as well as the climate and geologic changes of the earth's surface from the Precambrian until the present.
-
4.00 Credits
Three hours lecture and three hours laboratory. This course is a systematic study of processes that operate at or near earth's surface and influence the development, preservation, and destruction of natural environments. Topics covered include the influence of fluvial, atmospheric, mass-wasting, glacial, volcanic and tectonic systems on the environment. Mitigation strategies to prevent environmental degradation will also be discussed.
