Courses
in the Earth Science Program are designed to meet the general education
of all students, to enhance their cultural development in a liberal arts
program, to broaden their knowledge of the physical environment, to
offer courses to meet the earth science, general science and geography
certification requirements, and to provide a solid foundation for those
planning to enter fields in which environmental knowledge is of value.
If the
student is certified in another science, an additional endorsement in
earth and space science can be obtained by taking an earth science
minor.
