21 courses with the subject ENV, 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.
BIO 121 or CHE 103 / CHE 103L . This course will acquaint Environmental Studies majors with the field of Environmental Science, including the history and philosophy of the field as well as its scientific foundations. Emphasis will be placed upon ecological principles from which environmental science has developed, as well as the human environmental problems of population size, energy consumption, pollution, and land use. This course will include three hours of lecture and a three-hour laboratory once per week.
ENV 120Introduction to Environmental Science and Policy
This interdisciplinary gateway course, required for all Environmental Science and Policy majors, features a case study approach to focus on the human relationships with, and impact on, the environment and our natural resources. The course will examine selected environmental and conservation problems and will examine causes of the problems and methods for investigating them and possible solutions.
ENV 120 or permission of the instructor. A seminar designed to expand the student’s exposure to current scientific research. Researchers from nearby institutions will present seminars on various topics of biology.
ENV 210Environmental Education I
The ultimate goal of the experiential course is to enrich North Carolinian’s understanding of our diverse surroundings. Students are provided the necessary resources and learning experiences to make them effective environmental educators. This course operates in conjunction with the North Carolina Environmental Education certification Program. Students will attend required workshops; participate in a variety of outdoor experiences; attend seminars, conferences, museums or other environmental education centers to increase knowledge of environmental education resources and facilities.
ENV 210 . Students will develop and complete a personal project as required to receive North Carolina Environmental Education Certification. Students will gain environmental education experience on campus, in area schools, or local science centers; in addition to workshops and other off campus experiences. Students completing ENV 210 and 215 will be positioned to apply for NCEE certification.
POL 120 A comprehensive and interdisciplinary introduction to the process and challenges of developing, implementing, and evaluating environmental policy. The roles of costs and benefits, uncertainty and risks, science and technology, and attitudes and ethics are explored. Historic and contemporary case studies are used to examine major institutions and actors, laws and regulations, incentives and enforcement approaches, and their role in addressing our nation’s most pressing environmental problems. Hours: 3
ENV 250L . This course introduces the hardware and software components of a Geographic Information System and reviews GIS applications. Topics include data structures and basic functions, methods of data capture and sources of data, and the nature and characteristics of geospatial data and objects. Lecture examples, as well as hands-on exercises cover a range of application areas and disciplines, reflecting the real-world relevance of this tool.
ENV 250 . Geographic information systems (GIS), global positioning systems (GPS), and mobile GIS and high definition digital imaging technologies will be used to perform traditional field analyses.
BIO 105 or 106; ENV 120 A survey of the physical, chemical, and biological methods used to measure natural systems and to detect, measure and manage contaminants in natural and anthropological environments. Particular attention will be given to exposure and associated impacts (including health risks) in natural and human environments.

A course in special problems for seniors majoring in environmental studies. Problems will be chosen which require the students to synthesize the knowledge and skills acquired in previous courses.
ENV 470Problems in Environmental Science and Policy
This capstone course, required of all Environmental Science and Policy majors, will investigate causes of and solutions to selected environmental problems. The objective of the course is to teach students how to approach and analyze a problem, develop a work plan, and determine what is necessary to successfully implement the plan. Using lecture, discussion, field study, and methods and tools learned in previous courses, students will engage in a research project to investigate and solve environmental and policy problems. The research project will culminate in written and oral presentations. A senior capstone portfolio is also required. Four credits.
Senior standing as an Environmental Science and Policy major.
