PS-UY 3324 Environmental Psychology

4 Credits

This course looks at how people interact with their environments: how settings affect behavior; how people change environments to fit their needs; and how people can become an active part of the environmental-design process. The course discusses how people use space and the way environmental design meets (or fails to meet) human needs. These concerns are valid for very-small-scale design problems (as in human-factors engineering); mid-size spaces (architecture and interior design); large-scale spaces (communities, urban areas). Notes: Satisfies a HuSS elective.

Prerequisite(s): Completion of EXPOS-UA 1 or EXPOS-UA 4.
