Bachelor of Science in Earth SciencesEmphasis in General Earth Sciences
The General Earth Sciences emphasis provides a multidisciplinary background in the earth sciences. It offers an opportunity to develop a sequence of courses that includes both earth sciences and supporting fields of science and mathematics that best serve individual interests and career goals. This emphasis is intended for students who desire a comprehensive understanding of their physical environment, wish to pursue interests in oceanography or astronomy, or who plan to pursue careers in pre-secondary teaching where a multidisciplinary background in the earth sciences and supporting sciences and mathematics is desirable. Program RequirementsThis shows a summary of requirements. Consult the Catalog for the official details.
Earth Science Credits 30-40 hours.Must be selected from courses with AST, ESCI, GEOL, MET, or OCN prefixes that may be counted for earth sciences majors. At least two earth science disciplines (AST, GEOL, MET, OCN) must be included in the program with a minimum of two courses each. Students who plan to be elementary or middle school teachers should take the following courses:
and select at least two of the following courses:
Return to Program Requirements Supporting Credits--20-30 semester hours.Supporting science, mathematics, and computer course offerings selected from courses that have been approved for the major by the department. Supporting credits must include at least 3 credit hours of mathematics course work. Students who plan to be elementary or middle school teachers should select at least one course each from mathematics, biology, physical sciences and computers based on the following:
Return to Program Requirements NotesThe course of study for this major, including both earth science and supporting courses, must total at least 60 credit hours and must be developed in consultation with and be approved by the student's Earth Sciences advisor. At least one half of the credit hours in AST, ESCI, GEOL, MET and OCN courses must be numbered 300 or above. No more than 8 credit hours of AST, ESCI, GEOL, MET and OCN courses numbered below 200 may be counted toward the major. Courses approved for General Education that are taken as part of this major may also be used to satisfy General Education requirements. Return to Earth Sciences Home Page Copyright:
