  • GEOG 200: Introduction to Geography

    3.00 Credits
    Charleston Southern University

    A survey of how the earth’s environment, especially its distribution of climates and resources, exerts a limiting and conditioning impact upon human culture. Also examined closely are the various ways in which political and economic policies affect resource depletion, pollution, and energy sources on a global scale.

  • GEOL 100: Earth Science for Educators

    4.00 Credits
    Charleston Southern University

    Prerequisite: Permission of the Education department. This course is designed for early childhood and elementary education majors following the state of South Carolina’s science standards for grades kindergarten through 8th grade. Earth Science is designed to introduce the student to how planet Earth works in our Sun’s and its own integrated system. Students will investigate the materials and major processes that shape the earth and the geologic hazards that affect our lives. Mineral, water and energy resources will be considered in the context of their occurrence, interactions and limitations. A view of Earth’s role in space and the formation of planets and stars will be studied. Lecture 3 hours. Laboratory 2 hours. (Lab fee required.) Credit may not be received for both this course and Physical Geology 101.

  • GEOL 101: Physical Geology

    4.00 Credits
    Charleston Southern University

    The natural processes that operate on and within the Earth will be explored utilizing the methods of scientific inquiry-facts, hypothesis and experiments. The plate tectonic framework will be used to illustrate the causes and effects of earthquakes, volcanoes and mountain building. Surface processes such as streams, glaciers and shorelines will also be examined. Laboratory exercises will accompany and augment these topics. Lecture 3 hours, laboratory 2 hours. (Laboratory fee required) Credit may not be received for both this course and Earth Science 100. This course cannot be challenged.

  • GNED 400: Honors Senior Project

    1.00 - 4.00 Credits
    Charleston Southern University

    The Honors Senior Project is a substantial independent project in the student’s major area of study. The nature of Honors Senior Project will vary significantly from program to program. Some projects will require field study akin to an internship, while others will more closely resemble traditional readings and academic writing, while others may involve conducting and reporting a sustained laboratory experiment. All Honors Senior projects should involve a substantial amount of research and provide a capstone experience for student’s Honor Program curriculum.
