  • EASC 180: Forensic Geology

    3.00 Credits
    Bridgewater State University

    This course will examine how the scientific method is applied to a diverse set of geologic conditions that assist law enforcement and are used in solving criminal investigations. This geologic evidence is in general used to place a person or object at the scene of a crime or show travel path. Case studies will be used to highlight how geology, and understanding geologic processes, can be used to help provide valuable information in solving various crimes or litigation problems. Classroom assignments and group work in the hands-on investigative approach to solving a “crime” are constructed to provide a more effective introductory geology experience.

  • EASC 199: First Year Seminar

    3.00 Credits
    Bridgewater State University

    Prerequisite: Open to all freshmen with a writing placement score of 3 or above or a SAT score of 500 or above or who have completed ENGL 101. Students with 24 or more transfer credits will have this requirement waived. First Year Seminars (FYS) are writing-intensive, topic courses that introduce students to academic thought, discourse and practices. FYS courses prepare and orient students toward productive and fulfilling college careers by actively engaging them in a specific academic area of interest. Students will improve their writing, reading, research and basic information and technology skills while learning to work both collaboratively and independently. These courses will fulfill the First Year Seminar requirement and may fulfill other requirements for the core curriculum. Each course may fulfill different requirements and topics may change each semester. Only one FYS course may be taken for credit. (CFYS)
