SUS 350 - Community Sustainability in Costa Rica

1 course unit
Students explore solutions to complex community problems related to sustainability in Costa Rica.  During the spring semester students develop projects and prepare for the two-week study/research/travel experience to Costa Rica at the end of May.  Preparation includes study of the area’s ecological diversity; political, cultural, and social issues; research skills; and service in the Allentown Community.  In Costa Rica students explore a variety of habitats, live in and interact with members of a small town, and conduct both community service and independent research projects.  Research projects focus on ecology, sociology, culture, sustainability, and public health of the region.  One objective is to remove the blinders of specific discipline-based learning and our own culture to enable us to develop sustainable solutions.
Meets general academic requirements DE and SC and satisfies the IL requirement.
