Suggested Schedules for Undergraduates

Suggested Schedule for Earth Science Majors

First Year

You will probably need to devote most of this year to fullfilling your CU Core Curriculum requirements. But consider taking at least one 1000-level Earth and Environmental Sciences course, that interests you, as well. You might consider V1001y Dinosaurs and the History of Life, or V1005y The Design and Maintenance of a Habitable Planet.

Sophomore Year

Two introductory earth and environmental science couses, drawn from either the V1011/V1012 or V2100/V2200/V2300 sequences

One Earth and Environmental Sciences advanced course

One non-EESC introductory science course

Junior Year

Two Earth and Environmental Sciences advanced courses

Two non-EESC introductory science courses

Those students who choose the summer field course option should take it after their junior year

Senior Year

Two Earth and Environmental Sciences advanced courses

Two non-EESC advanced science courses

Research & Senior Thesis, if you choose not to take the summer field course
