8 courses with the subject ENVS, 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.
ENVS 1000Introduction to Environmental Science and Sustainability3
Credit(s) | $43.50 Fee A study of local- to global-scale environmental issues including their causes, possible solutions, and impacts to human health, biodiversity, and natural resources. Topics include air and water quality, sustainability, food systems, and energy. (Fall, Spring, Summer [As Needed]) [Graded Letter]
Credit(s) | $14.50 per credit Fee Selected field trips of one to ten (1-10) days to areas of environmental interest.

A passing grade must be earned in this course before it can be counted in a Geosciences major or minor or as a prerequisite for any other course. (Fall [As Needed], Spring [As Needed]) [Pass/Fail]
ENVS 3000Research Methods in Environmental Science3
Credit(s) | $43.50 Fee This course provides students with an overview of research techniques used in environmental science. Students will learn essential research methods in three areas: field research, laboratory research, and systematic, quantitative literature review. Students who complete this course will leave with a toolkit of skills that can be used to develop a capstone project in environmental science. (Fall) [Graded Letter]
Credit(s) | $14.50 per credit Fee Lab and/or field course centered on helping the student conduct meaningful and novel research. Directed research and techniques used will be discussed. Variable credit. A minimum grade of “C” (2.0 or above) must be earned in this course before it can be counted in a Geosciences major or minor or as a prerequisite for any other course. (As Needed) [Graded Letter]

ENVS 4890Environmental Science Internship1-8
Credit(s) | $14.50 per credit Fee An off-campus experience with an employer, agency, or organization that will provide hands-on experiences and/or on-the-job training in a field of Environmental Science or Environmental Studies. Internships must be initiated by a contract between the student, the internship provider, and a faculty advisor. The student may be paid or work as a volunteer. (Fall, Spring, Summer) [Pass/Fail]
Credit(s) | $43.50 Fee The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) requires federal agencies to assess the environmental effects of their proposed actions prior to making decisions. This course provides an overview and application of NEPA as it applies to working on Federally managed lands and Federally funded and permitted projects. Topics include an overview of NEPA, NEPA requirements and regulations, Categorical Exclusions, Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA), Environmental Impact Statements (EIS), other environmental policies that relate to NEPA, and the role of the public. A minimum grade of “C” (2.0 or above) must be earned in this course before it can be counted in a Geosciences major or minor or as a prerequisite for any other course. (Spring) [Graded Letter]
