Subject: Symbolic Systems Sequence for Geosciences
Geosciences students must fulfill the current catalog language for a symbolic systems sequence. We
believe that the prescribe sequences provide our students with a liberal education.
In addition to completing the coursework in Geosciences, students must also complete a minimum of 30
credits in cognate sciences classes. Required are the following: PHYS 121N/122N or PHYS 221N/222N;
CHEM 151N/152N/154N or CHEM 161N/162N; MATH 150/158 or MATH 152/153; three credits in
Computer Science (modeling or programming), or GIS, or Statistics.
