J. CHRISTOPHER HALEYDR. ELIZABETH G. MALCOLM, Program CoordinatorDR. GARRY E. NOEDR. MAYNARD H. SCHAUS, Division ChairpersonEarth and environmental sciences is a multidisciplinaryfield that addresses the interactionsbetween humans and the environment. Study in thisfield includes an understanding of the basic principlesthat govern geological, biological, and chemicalinteractions, as well as the applied context ofdeveloping solutions to current environmentalproblems. The earth and environmental sciencescurriculum is designed to provide a solid foundationin both earth science and environmental science andto support coursework in chemistry and biology. TheB.A. program is designed to provide a broadbackground in the fundamentals of earth science forstudents who plan careers in secondary education,business, law, and other areas, or wish to pursue adouble major. The B.S. program is intended forstudents who plan graduate work in earth orenvironmental sciences and thus require additionalupper-level EES courses and additional preparation inmathematics. Those seeking secondary certificationin Earth Science must take PHYS 142 and either EES210 or 340.Major Requirements:Earth and Environmental Sciences (B.A.)COURSE NUMBER AND TITLEEARTH AND ENVIRONMENTAL SCIENCESSEM.HRS.EES 131Physical Geology with Laboratory4EES 133Environmental Geology with Laboratory4BIO 131Principles of Biology I: 4Evolution & EcologyCHEM 120Introductory Chemistry4One of the following:CHEM 210Analytical ChemistryEES/CHEM 270Environmental Chemistry 4CHEM 200Inorganic ChemistryCHEM 221Organic Chemistry IEES 200OceanographyEES 210OR 4MeteorologyEES/CHEM 450Global Environmental Cycles4Four of the following:EES 250, 300, 320, 330, 340, 16410, 470, 489One of the following:BIO 316, 320, 355, 435, 445, 4824TOTAL 48Major Requirements:Earth and Environmental Sciences (B.S.)COURSE NUMBER AND TITLE89SEM.HRS.EES 131Physical Geology with Laboratory4EES 133Environmental Geology with Laboratory4BIO 131Principles of Biology I4CHEM 120Introductory Chemistry4One of the following:CHEM 210Analytical ChemistryEES/CHEM 270Environmental Chemistry 4CHEM 200Inorganic ChemistryCHEM 221Organic Chemistry IEES 200OceanographyEES 210OR 4MeteorologyEES 300Introduction to Geographic 4Information SystemsSee continuation of choices next page
