ES 375 Case Studies in Environmental Sustainability

ES 375 is a research-oriented capstone course required of all Environmental Studies (ES) majors during their senior year. During the course, teams of students conduct community-based research focused on a single, local environmental issue. Each team uses a different disciplinary perspective and approach to investigate the issue, and hence the class as a whole is immersed in an interdisciplinary exploration as they compare literature, methodologies, and findings.
