Notes: Course days and times may change. Additional courses will be added to this list, so please check the Directory of Classes and the Environmental Science Department website and follow up if you are on a waitlist.

EESC BC1001 Environmental Science lecture and EESC BC1011 Environmental Science lab are corequisites. Sign up first for a lab section (EESCBC1011) and then get on the waitlist for lecture EESC BC1001. You may not enroll in the lecture portion without first securing a lab section.

*Has LAB with same course number—see schedule for time.

**Be sure to contact the instructor for all Sust Dev courses that are limited in size and let them know you are an Environment and Sustainability major as preference is given to Sust Dev Majors.

SDEV UN3366, Energy Law includes one-hour recitation/discussion—time to be arranged with students and TA’s in the Fall. Register via waitlist, priority to Sust Dev students, so write to instructor if you are a BC Environment and Sust major.
SDEV UN4550, The New York City Watershed with Ruth Defries (for 1-point) will be offered on weekends. Students travel to the Catskills to learn about the Watershed region. There is one prep session leading up to the weekend and a final paper.

**SDEV courses have limits in size and priority given to Columbia Sustainability Majors. All students enroll via a waitlist. We recommend you reach out directly to the instructor about your major and interest in the course.

***EAEE E4009, GIS-Research Enviro. Infrastructure Management is open to Barnard students. Register for Wednesday’s Lab, the Thursday lab is optional. Let us know if you have trouble enrolling.

N.B. Some courses, particularly upper-level, graduate-level, and Engineering (EAEE) courses have prerequisites. Consult the catalogue, your adviser, or the department to ensure that you’ve completed prerequisites before finalizing your program. Courses in Environmental Health (EHSC) held at the School of Public Health campus, with the exception of P6300, have a prerequisite of 2 years of Chemistry, 1 year of Biology, and calc. To enroll in any International Affairs (SIPA) class, you prior approval from Dean Youngblood Giles at Beyond Barnard. Check the Directory of Classes for more info from Anthropology, Economics, Political Science, Sustainable Development, and Urban Studies or any updates we may forward to you. If you are interested in a seminar course outside of your major, do contact the instructor and advocate as to your readiness and interest in the course.
