Environmental Science (DE)

The rigorous curriculum of this class covers two college courses of environmental science (ENV 121/122). The first semester provides students with an opportunity to acquire fundamental knowledge of the principles of biological systems and their interactions with the non-living components of the environment. The second semester offers students an opportunity to acquire fundamental knowledge of human's relationship to the environment and the science behind the causes, effects, and possible mitigation of major environmental issues. Lab or field work is required in both semesters. Students are required to take a final exam at the end of this course. Upon a successful completion, students will be eligible to receive eight college credits. Students may take only AP Environmental Science or Environmental Science (DE) for high school credit.
