Current Course Description: The study of how humans interact with their environment and the effect of the environment on human society. Topics include basic ecological principals, human population growth, environmental health, air and water pollution, ecosystem change and global impacts. Does not substitute for BI 357 (Ecology) in the biology major program. Three hours lecture and one three-hour laboratory including field work. Prerequisite: BI 101 or equivalent – offered spring term.

New Course Description: The study of how humans interact with their environment and the effect of the environment on human society. Topics include basic ecological principals, human population growth, environmental health, air and water pollution, ecosystem change and global impacts. Does not substitute for BI 357 (General Ecology) in the biology major program. Three hours lecture and one three-hour laboratory including fieldwork. Prerequisite: BI 101 or equivalent – offered fall term.

Justification for changing the course (e.g. alignment with other institutions, program revision, etc.): These two minor changes to the course description improve accuracy. BI 357 is called “General Ecology” not simply “Ecology” and BI 370 is now being offered in fall term (not spring term). This course description change involves no new FTE or space requests.

Students/Program affected: Elective for Biology Minor, some Biology Major emphases Requirement for Environmental Studies Minor
