Earth Science (ESCI)
Except where noted, general education courses are designed
to meet the general education requirements for graduation. These
courses will not count toward graduation requirements for majors
found in the Department of Science and Mathematics unless they
are specifically listed in the curriculum requirements for a major.
A student majoring in science or mathematics may take these
courses only as electives. However, any course listed for a science
or mathematics major or minor may also count toward fulfilling
general education requirements.
