ENVIRONMENTAL STEWARDSHIP (21 HOURS )

Students seeking to work with government, business, non-profit, education, environmental and other fields will face social, economic, and environmental questions in their roles.

At the end of the course, students will have gained an appreciation for what environmental stewardship is, why it is important and how stewardship principles may be integrated into their organizations. The major form of course delivery will be through lectures, handout materials, and assignments.
