Spring 2013 Course Listing
Registration has been postponed until November 26, 2012. Courses marked with an asterisk are open only to Environmental
Studies majors during the first week of registration. Courses will open to all
students at 9:00 a.m. on Monday, December 3, 2012. Please also note that classes still unassigned to rooms will not appear on Albert, so you should consult the undergraduate course descriptions on our website and not rely on Albert. If the class is on our website, we intend to run it and we hope the course will appear in Albert by the time registration begins.
Please check back periodically for changes, as this page will
continue to be updated as new courses are scheduled in Albert. Syllabi available via links on this page are meant as samples and do not
necessarily reflect the final syllabus for the course for this particular
semester. Note: The meeting pattern has changed for ENVST-UA 101.002 -.004 and ENVST-UA 450 due to classroom availability. Updated times are reflected below.
