This course is designed to develop a student’s abilities as an environmental problem-solver through practice. The problems come in two forms: a campus or local problem related to environmental sustainability or resilience and the problem of what to do with one’s life. To address each, students engage in a semester-long group project that addresses a real-world environmental issue or question (projects vary from year to year) and a more individualized examination of the student’s own values, career aspirations and skills. Prerequisites: ENV 101, ENV 201, ENV 202, a statistics course and ENV 311 (may be taken concurrently). Restrictions: Juniors and seniors only. Enrollment limited to 16. Instructor permission required.

[CE] JR/SR only

Permission is required for interchange registration during the add/drop period only.
