NOTE: this concentration has been discontinued.  The last day to declare a concentration in Earth Sciences was April 30, 2010.   

May be elected as a departmental concentration program

Students in this program of study earn a Bachelor of Science degree. They receive a broad foundation in natural and physical sciences from which they can launch a professional career in marine and freshwater science. Students are encouraged to tailor their academic programs along the lines of the four options described below.

Prerequisites to Concentration.

  1. One year of chemistry with labs (CHEM 125/126/130, 210/211).
  2. One year of physics with labs (PHYSICS 140/141 and 240/241)
  3. MATH 115 and 116, and one of MATH 214, 215, or 216
  4. STATS 350
  5. Introductory Geology course with laboratory (e.g., GEOSCI 116, 119&118, 120 or 201) or an introductory geoscience course without laboratory (GEOSCI 119, 205-206, 284) combined with a laboratory courses (GESOSCI 118 or 207)
  6. Oceanography - GEOSCI 222/223

Concentration Program.

  1. Select at least four courses from:
    1. GEOSCI 449, Marine Geology
    2. GEOSCI 479, Marine Geochemistry
    3. GEOSCI 421, Principles of Physical Oceanography
    4. GEOSCI 452, Cenozoic Stratigraphy and Global Change
    5. GEOSCI 446, Principles of Paleoclimatology
  2. Elective Courses (at least 15 credits): select five additional courses from GEOSCI 305, 320, 321, 325, 351, 409, 418, 419, 420, 422, 465, 467, 478, 483, 486.
