There are a number of online summer course
opportunities in the Department of Geography. The following courses are either
required or electives in ENVS, depending on degree path:
GEOG 253 -
Environment and Society (Gen-ed; 3) http://catalog.niu.edu/preview_course.php?catoid=16&coid=43235&print
GEOG
303 - Water Resources and the Environment (3) http://catalog.niu.edu/preview_course.php?catoid=16&coid=43239&print

These
three courses will also be available either online or on-campus this fall.
There are also online offerings in GIS, including: GEOG 256 (Maps and
Mapping), GEOG 359 (Intro to GIS), and GEOG 459 (GIS). In addition, Gen-ed GEOG
101 (Physical Geography) is offered online.
Finally, for a truly unique
opportunity ... Walker Ashley leads a "storm chasing" field experiential learning course
through COD every May. He still has a few seats available on my 10-day trip
(Trip 2) to the Great Plains if anyone is interested. This course can transfer
to NIU as MET 291 - Field Experience in Meteorology. However, anyone can
participate -- they often have a very diverse set of folks, from 18-yr old
freshmen to faculty retirees. Details (including a FAQ) regarding this
opportunity are available at COD: http://weather.cod.edu/chasing/trips.html
