3.00 Credits
Presents a comprehensive survey of the fundamental concepts of GIS, providing students a command over the software to import raster and vector data into a GIS and to conduct simple analyses over their data. Intended for those with limited experience with GIS who are exploring career opportunities in the field. Prerequisite: GIS 110. Lecture: 3 credits (45 contact hours).
-
3.00 Credits
Explores advanced topics in GIS. Teaches students how to create and import geodatabases into a GIS, edit and create new vector and raster data, build layouts for presentation purposes and manipulate tabular data. Exposes students to various extensions within the software in order to conduct advanced analyses on their data. Prerequisite: GIS 120. Lecture: 3 credits (45 contact hours).
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces the principles of physical geology, including study of minerals and rocks, volcanoes and earthquakes, plate tectonics, and the landforms of Earth's surface. Requires concurrent enrollment in GLY 111.
-
3.00 Credits
Covers the history of the Earth: its origin as part of the solar system, and subsequent evolution of the atmosphere, continents, seas, and life as interpreted from the rock record. Includes in addition to lecture illustrations, field trips and out-of-class exercises. Gives attention to the development of the basic principles used in interpretation. Prerequisite: GLY 101 and GLY 111 or consent of the instructor. Corequisite: GLY 112
-
3.00 Credits
Introduces and applies basic geological concepts to current environmental issues including the availability and use of water and soil resources, pollution causes, effects and solutions, and causes and prediction of environmental hazards including floods, landslides, subsidence, earthquakes and volcanoes. Lecture: 3 credits (45 contact hours).
-
1.00 Credits
Identification of minerals and rocks in hand specimens, interpretation of landscape features as shown on topographic maps, and an introduction to geologic maps. Requires concurrent registration in GLY 101. Laboratory: 2 hours. Requires concurrent registration in GLY 101.
-
1.00 Credits

Lecture: 3 hours.
-
4.00 Credits
Learn how the Earth works: an integrated course in physical geology, covering the physical, chemical and biological processes that combine to produce geological processes. Focuses on plate tectonics, earth surface processes, and properties and formation of earth materials. Lab exercises emphasize identification and interpretation of geologic materials, geologic maps and cross sections. Lecture: 3 credits (45 contact hours); Laboratory: 1 credits (30 contact hours).
-
3.00 Credits
Special projects that integrate knowledge and concepts from the Global Studies core courses, study abroad experience, guided research and independent reading. The course will be taken during the last semester of the Global Studies degree program and requires a significant and scholarly culminating project, a research report, portfolio, or exhibition and a formal presentation.
