4.00 Credits
This course introduces students to topics in geology, oceanography, meteorology, and energy science. The solid earth, and earth processes, the liquid hydrosphere and the gaseous atmosphere are studied, as well as the earth as a part of the solar system. It is intended for students interested in the natural sciences and can be used to fulfill the lab science requirement. Two hours of lab per week are required. Lab time will be used to reinforce lecture concepts and will include experiments, hands-on activities, and field trips. Traditional, online and hybrid sections are available. (Prerequisite(s): READ 0722 or READ 0724 or EAPP 0900 with a grade of "C" or better.) (MnTC: Goals 3 & 10) 4C/3/1/0

4.00 Credits
This course introduces students to the fundamentals of Geology, including rock and mineral formation, geologic time, global tectonic processes such as earthquakes and volcanoes, and earth surface processes that change our landscape. Current issues relating to Geology, such as global climate change and energy resources will be addressed as well. Two hours of lab per week are required. Lab time will be used to reinforce lecture concepts and will include experiments, hands-on activities and field trips. Traditional and hybrid sections are available. (Prerequisite(s): READ 0722 or READ 0724 or EAPP 0900 with a grade of "C" or better or appropriate assessment score) (MnTC: Goals 3 & 10) 4C/3/1/0
-
3.00 Credits
This course introduces students to basic scientific principles of oceanography. Topics covered will include the geological, biological, atmospheric, and chemical processes at work in the oceans, as well as contemporary issues related to marine pollution and resource use. Course includes lab-like learning activities. Traditional and online sections are available. (Prerequisite(s): READ 0721 or READ 0724 or EAPP 0860 with a grade of "C" or better or appropriate assessment score) (MnTC: Goals 3 & 10) 3C/3/0/0

3.00 Credits
Scientific dilemmas and advances in science make headlines every day. Without knowing the science behind the top issues, it is difficult to separate fact from hype. In this course we will focus on contemporary issues such as climate change, renewable energy, environmental toxins, stem cell research, gene therapy, and pandemic diseases. Students will learn the basic scientific concepts behind each issue and will then explore the ethical dilemmas that each issue brings up. Course includes lab-like learning activities. Traditional, hybrid, and online sections are available. (Prerequisite(s): READ 0721 or READ 0724 or EAPP 0860 with a grade of "C" or better or appropriate assessment score) (MnTC: Goals 3 & 9) 3C/3/0/0

3.00 Credits
This course surveys Minnesota's geological history, from exploring the formation of the bedrock more than 2 billion years ago to the current processes that shape the land usage in this State today. Students will learn about the many ways the states geology contributed to the economic, environmental and political development. Topics include: geologic time, plate tectonics, rock and mineral identification, topographic and geologic maps, superficial processes, and environmental concerns. Through numerous field trips, we will look to the Twin Cities metro area to provide examples of many different earth and environmental processes, and to give us hands-on experience understanding how these processes work (glacial history, rock formations, caves and ancient ocean floor, rivers, and other geologic sites). Course includes lab-like learning activities. Traditional and hybrid sections are available. (Prerequisite(s): READ 0722 or READ 0724 or EAPP 0900 with a grade of "C" or better or appropriate assessment score) (MnTC: Goals 3 & 10) 3C/3/0/0
