The following list of courses and their syllabi is intended to provide a general idea of the content of environmental course offerings at the Claremont Colleges. Please note that faculty typically revise the course content, sometimes dramatically, from year to year, so these syllabi are no guarantee of the specific readings, topics, assignments, or meeting times in a given semester. The list does not necessarily include all environmental courses offered at the Claremont Colleges. Please consult the CUC course catalog for the most comprehensive and up-to-date list of course offerings.
