Environmental psychology is the study of the transactions between people and the physical world, Research areas covered in this course include behavior change, environmental values, and place-making across environments.

This survey of the environmental social sciences enables students to think critically about how worldviews, history, and politics intersect to inform environmentally-relevant actions. 

Students are introduced to environmental sciences and current environment issues and begin to understand the complex relationships between human society and the natural systems we depend on for resources. 

Walking through the steps of a research process, students learn the principles of interdisciplinary research and develop hands-on skills for collecting social science (e.g., surveys), and biological science (e.g., water quality) data.
