Up to 9 credits can be applied to a graduate degree at the º¬Ðß²ÝÑо¿Ëù. This course takes place at Jug Bay Wetlands Sanctuary. The course emphasizes systems thinking in inquiring into environmental science phenomena. Students will learn from and strategize with experts in environmental science to develop tools and methods to investigate a research question of their own choosing. Course sessions will also focus on pedagogy: How can you bring what you’ve learned from an authentic environmental science research experience to your science classroom?
