The courses described in the ORC are those required for graduation in Earth and Planetary Sciences. It is strongly recommended that majors also complete courses in writing skills. For those planning to pursue graduate programs in the Earth and Planetary Sciences, completion of the introductory physics and chemistry series, as well as additional courses in computer science, mathematics, statistics, physical chemistry, and biology are strongly recommended. These courses provide a solid basis for advanced research and future courses in Earth and Planetary Science.

The table below outlines a variety of suggested tracks through the Earth and Planetary Sciences major for students that are interested in specific subdisciplines within the field. Specifically, those that align with the broader research interests of the faculty (Earth Surface and Environmental Processes, Climate and Cryospheric Sciences, and Earth and Planetary History). Note that our emphasis is more on the types of skills acquired through our major, but you can simultaneously achieve these skills while focusing on a more specific topic. All of these tracks would be possible following the completion of any one of our introductory courses (EAPS 1-14). Feel free to reach out to the Department's Undergraduate Academic Advisor or any faculty member for further information.
