Current catalog description:
ANTH 300 Human Landscapes (3). (Prereq ANTH/GEOG 120) This course intensively examines the way in which anthropologists and geographers use landscape analysis in studies of the interaction between people and their environment. We will discuss the formation of anthropogenic landscapes and feedback cycles, and the way in which this affects human behaviors past and present. Case studies can include agriculture, climate change, pollution, population, urbanization, and the Anthropocene. F, S, Su

What research has led to this request?
As EL and service learning opportunities have emerged within the department on campus, and as this course is an upper level major requirement, it is a unique opportunity for all students in the ANTH/GEOG program to gain exciting hands-on experience with activities relevant to their major.
What impact will this request have on existing academic programs?
Changing this course to Q* gives students an additional EL opportunity in ANTH/GEOG.
What financial costs are associated with this request?
None.
If NO change in cost is anticipated, how is this possible?
The course will be taught by existing faculty in load.
