Preparing for the Major

Students interested in the major should consult with the EPS Student Services Team for information about options within the curriculum. It should also be recognized that the Earth and Planetary Sciences program depends heavily on the other sciences. Any Earth and Planetary Sciences undergraduate should be looking to supplement their major coursework with Math, Physics, Chemistry, and Biology classes. Those outside courses are appropriate depending on the student’s background, goals, and interests, and can be explored with the faculty advisor. Suggested preparatory courses: MATH 19 & 20, MATH 51 or CME 100, CHEM 31A & 31B, PHYSICS 20 or 40 series.
