Notes:
- For an explanation of why General Education courses are included in this Program, please refer to the Section on General Education for an explanation of its Purpose and Requirements.
- This plan assumes the student is eligible to enroll in College Level Courses (designated as 100 +, e.g., ENG 101 College Composition I, HST 101 World Civilization I, MTH 100 Intro. to College Mathematics). Placement results will determine College Level Readiness in English and Mathematics.
Upon completion of this program, graduates will be able to:
- Students will be able to describe the fundamental concepts of Geology and Environmental Science, including the origin, composition; and evolution of the Earth, and how the Earth system responds to internal and external forces, including the forces of humans;
- Students will be able to effectively communicate and critically evaluate scientific observations, analyses and ideas;
- Students will be able to scientifically collect, analyze, and interpret geologic, geoscience, and earth systems data.
