can i classify intro to environmental science into my BCPM gpa?
this is my course description: interrelationships between human populations and the natural environment. Human population trends, agriculture, air and water pollution, biological diversity, forest and land use, energy and mineral resources, and toxic substances. Consideration of related economic factors, laws, politics, political behavior, and ethical questions.
i would highly appreciate any advice in this matter, thank you!

Is it offered by one of the science departments?
You can list it anyway you want and AMCAS will change it if they think it isn’t placed correctly.,

I just learned that there are a number of topics that are "scientific" but that don't get classified as BCPM.

AMCAS® Course Classification Guide

The American Medical College Application Service® (AMCAS®) Course Classification Guide provides examples of how courses are often categorized.

I'd expect Environmental Science to fit solidly in the Natural & Physical Sciences and "Environmental Science & Policy" is right there among the examples. This then gets lumped into AO (all other) and not BCPM (biology, chemistry, physics, math).
