Another title: However, Science 100* (formerly Earth Sciences 100*) may be substituted for Earth Sciences 130 as prerequisite for Earth Sciences 232*, 238*, 240* and 334, probably a different course under the same number (or a misread scan).
All those majoring in Earth Sciences are required to take a two-week field camp at the end of second or third year. Earth Sciences students are encouraged to seek geological employment in the summers.
