Environmental Stewardship
Students completing this focal study will gain scientific understanding of the human impact on the Earth. Additionally, students will study human environmental impact from contexts outside of the sciences, in order to develop well-informed opinions of what it means to be an environmental steward and how best to act as such on the individual and communal levels.
