Students will complete a significant research project in environmental and sustainability studies that includes reviewing relevant literature and collecting data. Students will design an independent research project using recognized research methodology and will collect and analyze data under the guidance of their faculty advisor and graduate committee. A learning contract with project clearly defined must be approved by supervising faculty member.
This course is part of the Plan B Capstone option for the MA in Applied Environmental and Sustainability Studies. Students will report on the significant research project in environmental and sustainability studies that they conducted in ENS 695 under the guidance of their faculty advisor. Students will complete a report on their research in a format agreed upon with their faculty advisor.
Students pursuing the Plan B Internship option in the MA in Applied Environmental and Sustainability Studies are required to complete six credit hours of internships in order to graduate and must work 40 hours for each credit hour earned. While students are ultimately responsible for finding and completing their internships, students do receive ample support and assistance from program faculty throughout the process. The activities to be carried out during internships must be mutually agreed upon by the student, their faculty supervisor, and the host organization supervisor.

Supervised individual work in Applied Environmental and Sustainability Studies. A learning contract with a clearly defined project must be approved by supervising faculty member or program director. May not be repeated for additional credit.
Overview of the biology of insects. Emphasizes how this enormously abundant and important group of animals has resolved the basic challenges of survival and reproduction. Principles of physiology, behavior, ecology, and evolution are introduced using insects as examples. The roles of both beneficial and detrimental insects will be discussed.

Vectors are living organisms that can transmit infectious diseases between humans or from animals to humans. Vector-borne diseases have impacted human lives and society through history. This introductory course examines the major vector-borne diseases affecting humans through multiple perspectives (biomedical, cultural, political, and social) on a global scale. Special attention will be paid to arthropod-borne diseases with the greatest impact on history such as mosquitoes, ticks, and lice. Lectures will be supplemented with readings and videos.
Biology and behavior of insects and other pests attacking livestock, poultry, pets and wildlife. Current control methods are discussed. For students interested in livestock production, farm management, equine management, dairy science, poultry science, and preveterinary medicine, as well as general agriculture.
