Bachelor of Science in Environmental Geosciences
The B.S. curriculum in Environmental Geosciences addresses
needs for environmental geoscience expertise within the region.
Areas of particular interest include seismic and volcanic
hazards, hydrogeology, flood and landslide hazards, and
environmental geochemistry of contaminated surface and
groundwater systems. The program assures adequate preparation in
the basic physical sciences and breadth in the geosciences, so
that students are well prepared for graduate school and have
flexibility in career decisions. The B.S. requires courses in the
Geological Sciences and additional courses in biology, chemistry,
economics or geography, mathematics, and physics. The degree is
also appropriate for students who wish to continue in other
directions (e.g., Law school).
Students who declare a major in Environmental Geosciences must
register with the department and work out a specific program of
studies with the chairperson or an assigned advisor. Course
programs can be tailored to the student's needs and interests
with the aid of an academic advisor. Other requirements may be
modified in cases where past performance indicates superior
ability. Students must be evaluated for math placement upon
declaration of the major with the goal of establishing profiency
at MATH 163.2 level early in the major program.
The details of class requirements and electives are detailed
in the CWU
Catalog. You can find the material for this degree
by the following steps:
- Choose the catalog for the appropriate year
- Click on "Programs" on the left navigation bar
- Scroll down to the Geological Sciences Department listing
- Then click on "Environmental Geological Sciences Major, B.S."
The Online Electronic Catalog (OEC) is the university's official
compilation for all curriculum. The OEC serves as the basis for major,
minor, specialization, certificate, and program requirements for the
academic year. For current policy and curriculum requirements refer to
the CWU online catalog at http://www.cwu.edu/~catalogs.
You may choose
the catalog that is appropriate for your program requirements, based on
the quarter that you were accepted into your program. Some students may
be using more than one catalog to meet general education and major
requirements.
A student should expect to meet the specific requirements of the
departments listed in the OEC that is current at the time he or she is
accepted by the department into the major or minor program. Graduate
students admitted to the master*s degree program may use the catalog
they are admitted under or the current one. A student should expect to
complete general education requirements as listed in the OEC current at
the time of first enrollment at either Central or a community college in
the state of Washington provided he or she transfers directly to CWU
from the community college and has not attended another four-year
institution.
