Description:

4 credits Prerequisite: MTH 052 or above with grade of 'C-' or better or pass placement test or instructor's permission. The General Science 104, GS 105, and GS 106 course sequence satisfies the science with a lab requirement for non-science majors. Emphasis in this sequence is placed on basic principles that tie the physical sciences together. GS 106 topics are selected from the Earth and space sciences, such as atmosphere, weather, climate, changing climate, geologic time, Earth's surface processes and interior structure, and surface features such as rivers, glaciers, geologic earthquakes, volcanoes, with some comments on geologic hazards, then solid moons and planets, gas planets, stars, star clusters, galaxies, larger-scale structures of the universe and cosmology. This class includes lab experience with graphs, maps, cross-sections, rocks, minerals, and imagery including photographs. It is not necessary to take all three terms, GS 104, 105 and 106, nor is it necessary to take these classes in order.
