Earth System Science Major 6.0 Revised Program Description (Maximum 150 words) – if revising, the existing must be included Earth System Science (ESYS) views Earth as a single integrated system that provides a unifying context to examine the interrelationships between all components of the Earth system. The approach concentrates on the nature of linkages among the biological, chemical, human, and physical subsystems of the Earth. Earth System Science primarily involves studying the cycling of matter and energy through the atmosphere, biosphere, cryosphere, exosphere, and hydrosphere. It examines the dynamics and interrelationships among these processes at time scales that range from billions of years to days, and seeks to understand how these interrelationships have changed over time P2-1 7.0 List of existing program and proposed program Existing program (list courses as follows: Subj Code/Crse Num, Proposed program (list courses as follows: Subj Code/Crse Title, Credit Weight, under the headings of: Required Courses, Num, Title, Credit Weight, under the headings of: Required Complementary Courses, Elective Courses) Courses, Complementary Courses, Elective Courses) Required Courses (24 credits) Required Courses (18 credits) COMP 202 Foundations of Programming (3 cr.)
