This interdisciplinary course examines how environmental factors such as air and water quality, pollution, climate change, and urban design influence community health and disease patterns. Students explore the principles of epidemiology to understand how diseases spread and how environmental conditions shape public wellness. Integrating biology, environmental science, and social justice, the course empowers students to think critically about environmental challenges and their impacts on human health.
