Program Graph

Program requirements arranged by prerequisite flow.

The graph is driven by prerequisites from left to right (instead of year suggestions). The simplified view keeps the sequence readable while the full view is closer to the real data structure.

Program notes

  • Completion of a field school as an EOS elective is recommended. EOS 300 requires that EOS 202 be taken as an elective. EOS 401 requires two of 312, 313 or (314 or 431) be taken as electives.
  • Most 400-level EOS classes are offered in alternate years. A schedule of when each class is offered is available on the School of Earth and Ocean Sciences website.

Contact hours are calculated using the listed lecture-lab-tutorial information in calendar. Hour ranges for electives are calculated assuming all 3-0-0 (min) and 3-3-0 (max).
