Ecology is the wonderfully complex and fascinating biological study of species' relationships with each other and with their environments. In this course, students explore ecological principles, see how they apply to issues in the news, learn to collect and analyze ecological data, and become better acquainted with the ecosystems around us. We use online labs as well as field exercises to better understand the ecological concepts as well as the scientific process. This course is intended for non-science majors only; it does not apply to a major in biology, environmental studies, or conservation biology. GE: Natural Science
