Select Department:

Environmental And Marine Science

This course investigates the world in which we live by studying our natural resources and how we interact with them. Students will learn the scientific concepts and investigative techniques required to understand the environmental problems our society faces today and in the future. The word environmental broadly refers to everything around us: air, land, water, and the varied populations of living things. To take advantage of the Abbey’s proximity to the marine environment of Narragansett Bay, an emphasis will be placed on marine biology, plant and animal identification and the basic concepts of oceanography. The course requires students to participate in data collection and analysis and to carry out independent research projects. Small group labs and presentations will be emphasized. Students taking this course should have completed Biology or be taking Biology concurrently.
