6 courses with the subject ESSC, each shown exactly as we captured it from the college's catalog, with every element we hold. Where the wording looks broken, that is our reading of the catalog, not the college's text.

ESSC 202Public Policy and Human Environments1

(Same as ENST 202 , ESCI 202 , GEOG 202 and URBS 202 ) This course combines the insights of the natural and social sciences to address a selected topic of global concern. Geographers bring spatial analysis of societal and political-ecological changes, while Earth Scientists contribute their knowledge of the diverse natural processes shaping the earth’s surface. Together, these distinctive but complementary fields contribute to comprehensive understandings of the physical limitations and potential uses and misuses of the Earth’s natural resources. Two 75-minute periods. Not offered in 2026/27. Course Format: CLS
