This flow chart illustrates how courses in EES build upon each other to support upper level classes. Shaded boxes denote writing intensive classes. Specific prerequisite courses are provided in parentheses. As illustrated by the flow chart, course content is progressive with gateway courses building upon introductory geology. Foundations classes extend gateway concepts and form the basis for advanced concepts developed in 300 and 400 level courses.  In this track, general natural science requirements are designed to broaden experiences in Earth Science.
