Nature & Environment

HORT 37000

You learn to actually design floral arrangements and understand what goes into running a florist business. Fresh, dried, silk florals, seasonal trends, all of it.

HORT 12100

Covers the relationship between plants and the human body: medicines, nutrition, poisons, psychoactive compounds, all of it. One of the more quietly fascinating courses in the catalog, and only one credit.

EAPS 11200

The full story of Earth from its formation to now, told through rocks, fossils, and geological events. The lab gets you hands on with actual specimens.

EAPS 37500

Breaks down the real economics and politics behind energy: why fossil fuels still dominate, what it actually takes to shift away from them, and who has the power to make that happen. One of the more honest courses about how the world actually works.

ANTH 23500

Studies chimpanzees, gorillas, and bonobos and what their behavior tells us about ourselves. Covers conservation, research ethics, and how ape studies forced scientists to rethink what makes humans unique.

FNR 23000

Looks at forests globally: how they work ecologically, what they mean culturally, and why they matter for the future. A course that shifts how you think about trees, land use, and climate all at once.

ENTM 10500

Everything about insects that makes them fascinating rather than just gross. Covers biology, history, art, photography, and yes, eating them.

EAPS 36000

Climate change, energy, and sustainability covered honestly: not just the science but the politics, the tradeoffs, and why solutions are harder than they look. Ends in a team project.
