Non-science students who have a keen interest in the environment focus on the underlying ecological principles that shape our world. They examine evolution and the ecological diversity to which it leads. Students consider the effects of the tremendous increase in human population growth on renewable and non-renewable resources, acid rain, climate change, toxins in the environment, and the biodiversity crisis. For each of these topics there is a discussion on how to find sustainable solutions. Labs and field trips enhance student's learning experience. Prerequisite: 1st year standing Note: Science students do not receive credit for BIOL 1040
