B109 Exploring Environmental and Human Health

3 credit(s)
This course serves as an anchor for the First Year Experience by welcoming you into the Saint Mary’s University community and providing an opportunity for the development of academic skills in the area/discipline of biology, with an emphasis on how human health is intricately linked with environmental health.  Inquiry into the connections between environmental and human health, with attention paid to how academic disciplines and sociocultural issues outside other biological sciences (e.g. politics, history) also influence environmental and human health, will allow you to develop the academic habits and ways of thinking to take you forward into any program of your choice.  This course incorporates the common themes of Place, Purpose, and Well-Being because environmental and human health are influenced by place, researching solutions to these issues provides a sense of purpose, and our environmental and personal health influences our well being.
