IDIS 107 - Introduction to Ecological and Environmental Professions

(1)

FA. Students considering careers related to ecology, conservation, and environmental biology are introduced to the variety of professions and avenues for employment by practitioners of those fields, as well as the required preparation for pursuing these careers. Students explore graduate education and the prospects for employment after receiving an undergraduate degree. Students consider Christian perspectives on creation care, evaluate ethical dilemmas, and engage in discussions about current issues. This course has another goal that is harder to measure, namely building a sense of community among students in the Environmental Science and Environmental Health and Conservation majors, which are housed in two different departments. Think of it as your orientation group for these environmental majors.
