A lecture- and laboratory-based course covering fundamental geologic concepts of plate tectonics, formation of rocks and minerals, earth forces that cause earthquakes and volcanoes, and the significance of geologic time in effecting changes in the distribution of continents and oceans. The laboratory experience reinforces and applies concepts discussed during lecture, including effective use of topographic and geologic maps, identification of common rocks and minerals, and three-dimensional interpretation of rock structures, such as folds and faults. The course consists of three hours lecture, three hours lab per week, and one full-day mandatory field activity.

This course will emphasize the geology of earth's natural hazards including earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, landslides, global warming and ozone depletion. Students will learn how geologic processes can directly affect people, property and human made structures. Procedures to mitigate such hazards will be explored. In addition to earth's natural hazards, some other important concepts to be addressed include population growth pressures on natural resources, uniformitarianism and geology as a foundation to understanding our environment. Course entails three hours of lecture per week and four 3-5 hour mandatory laboratory exercises per semester.

Study of the physical processes and dynamic systems that shape Earth. Topics include the atmosphere, biosphere, lithosphere and hydrosphere, and also the interconnectedness of these systems with human society. Emphasis is placed upon evaluating scientific evidence and associating that evidence with scientific hypothesis. Four laboratory experiences required.

Understand the principles of entrepreneurship and the tools you need to develop a quality business plan. Use your learned creativity and innovation techniques to generate new business ideas and then apply those skills as you develop an original, realistic and effective business plan. This hands-on course will take you through the steps of the business plan development process and give you the opportunity to present your business plan.
