BIO 244 - Environmental Sustainability (4 Cr.)

(LER-ENV)
Students examine and analyze concepts of sustainability and their global and local interpretations and meanings as framed by global-local issues: climate change, ecotourism and economic development, environmentalism, human health, conservation, and biodiversity. Emphasis is placed on contextualized examples of environmental, economic, social, political, and cultural tensions related to sustainability. Includes field trips, exercises, and guest lectures by local scientists and activists. This course will not count toward the major. Credit will be awarded only one time-for Goucher’s BIO 170  or this course (BIO 244).
