Earth and Atmospheric Sciences Minor:
Facts and Figures

The minor is open to all students (except Earth and Environmental Sciences majors), but is designed primarily for students in the natural sciences and engineering who wish to explore interdisciplinary problems and broaden their studies to include the application of their field to understanding the Earth system.

NOTE: All of these courses have prerequisites. Students pursuing the minor should plan to fulfill all prerequisites prior to enrolling in these courses.
