Massive problems, on a global scale, threaten the health of the planet and its inhabitants. In this class, we will explore several of these problems, identify stakeholders and populations affected by global problems and educate broad audiences (including policy makers, public health workers, and the general public) about major environmental issues. After discussing case studies of ?success stories? in tackling global environmental health problems, students will work independently and in teams to develop innovative solutions to emerging problems.
Courses only available to those students attending the Study Abroad Program in Costa Rica
