Sustainability-related courses
Wenatchee Valley College has a dedicated course focused on sustainability that is offered in Spring and Summer every year:
- Introduction to Sustainability | GEOG 150
Geography 150 is a five-credit Social Science transfer course that also meets the cultural diversity requirement. It is offered face-to-face or as an online course and both include a service learning component so students can practice sustainability in their own lives.
