ENVS 101 1ER - Spirituality and Ecology

Minimum Credit(s) Awarded: 4
Maximum Credit(s) Awarded: 4

While focusing on Eco-Spirituality and Environmental Justice, this COR 1 course introduces the Dominican Liberal Arts tradition: building a more just and compassionate world through the integration of spirituality, study and service, in a community searching for truth. Through grappling with ecological concerns, students discover connections between their own spiritualties and what they are learning about the environment through various disciplines and their active collaboration in making the world a better place. We join Dominicans and others exploring “Is there a way to reverse global warming?” “Who suffers or benefits most from the way things are?” “What is ‘green’ living?” “What will motivate & empower us to reduce our own carbon footprints?” Cross-listed RS101

Prerequisite(s): Freshman standing.
