The requirement offers an exciting intellectualenvironment centered on the study of race, ethnicity and culture of theUnited States. AC courses offer students opportunities to be part ofresearch-led, highly accomplished teaching environments, grappling withthe complexity of American Culture.For units to be considered in "residence," you must be registered incourses on the Berkeley campus as a student in the College of Letters& Science. Most students automatically fulfill the residence requirementby attending classes here for four years. In general, there is no needto be concerned about this requirement, unless you go abroad for asemester or year or want to take courses at another institution or throughUC Extension during your senior year. In these cases, you should makean appointment to meet an adviser to determine how you can meet theSenior Residence Requirement.College of Letters & Science Essential SkillsRequirementsNote: Courses taken through UC Extension do not count towardresidence.Quantitative Reasoning irement/)The Quantitative Reasoning requirement is designed to ensure thatstudents graduate with basic understanding and competency in math,statistics, or computer science. The requirement may be satisfied byexam or by taking an approved course.Foreign Language nt/)The Foreign Language requirement may be satisfied by demonstratingproficiency in reading comprehension, writing, and conversation in aforeign language equivalent to the second semester college level, eitherby passing an exam or by completing approved course work.Reading and Composition ment/)In order to provide a solid foundation in reading, writing, and criticalthinking the College requires two semesters of lower division work incomposition in sequence. Students must complete parts A & B readingand composition courses by the end of their second semester and asecond-level course by the end of their fourth semester.College of Letters & Science 7 CourseBreadth RequirementsBreadth Requirements he undergraduate breadth requirements provide Berkeley students witha rich and varied educational experience outside of their major program.As the foundation of a liberal arts education, breadth courses givestudents a view into the intellectual life of the University while introducingthem to a multitude of perspectives and approaches to research andscholarship. Engaging students in new disciplines and with peers fromother majors, the breadth experience strengthens interdisciplinaryconnections and context that prepares Berkeley graduates to understandand solve the complex issues of their day.Unit Requirements 120 total units Of the 120 units, 36 must be upper division unitsSenior Residence RequirementAfter you become a senior (with 90 semester units earned toward yourBA degree), you must complete at least 24 of the remaining 30 units inresidence in at least two semesters. To count as residence, a semestermust consist of at least 6 passed units. Intercampus Visitor, EAP, and UCBerkeley-Washington Program (UCDC) units are excluded.You may use a Berkeley Summer Session to satisfy one semester of theSenior Residence requirement, provided that you successfully complete6 units of course work in the Summer Session and that you have beenenrolled previously in the college.Modified Senior Residence RequirementParticipants in the UC Education Abroad Program (EAP), BerkeleySummer Abroad, or the UC Berkeley Washington Program (UCDC)may meet a Modified Senior Residence requirement by completing 24(excluding EAP) of their final 60 semester units in residence. At least 12of these 24 units must be completed after you have completed 90 units.Upper Division Residence RequirementYou must complete in residence a minimum of 18 units of upperdivision courses (excluding UCEAP units), 12 of which must satisfy therequirements for your major.MissionThe goal of the earth and planetary sciences (EPS) BA degree isto provide students with a broad and sound education that providesgeneral and specialized knowledge and is intellectually challenging andstimulating. Upon completion of the degree students are ready to entergraduate school at top-ranking institutions (about half of them choose thispath), find employment in the profession (geological and environmentalengineering and consulting are major opportunities), continue in publiceducation as teachers, or use their background as a sound basis for anew career such as in public policy, law or medical sciences.Learning Goals for the MajorEPS majors acquire knowledge through course work, laboratory training(expertise in experimental techniques), primary field research, libraryresearch, and computer applications, with oral presentations and writtenreports required in many of our classes.The undergraduate program provides strong technical training for thosewho wish to pursue professional careers in the earth, environmental andplanetary sciences, as well as training in analytical, creative and critical
4Environmental Earth Sciencethinking and communication that serves well those who choose paths innew fields.The environmental earth science track focuses broadly on the naturalsciences, using earth science as a base to expand outward. This trackcan accommodate the student's interest by incorporating classes inbiology, hydrology, hazardous waste management, ecology, and naturalresources. Interrelationships are key to this course of study, with anemphasis on how the physical, biological, and chemical processes at theearth's surface affect each other.This track is excellent preparation for graduate study in environmentalscience, but it also provides a strong foundation for work withingovernmental agencies such as the Environmental Protection Agency,Bureau of Land Management, United States Geological Survey orconsulting firms, or broader involvement in land use planning, business,policy, law or management. This is a great way to obtain a good sciencefoundation for students who are interested in teaching science inelementary or secondary education.EPS 7 Introduction to Climate Change 3 UnitsTerms offered: Fall 2021, Fall 2020, Fall 2019This course covers the physical processes that determine Earth's past,present, and future climate, with a particular focus on the essentiallyirreversible climate change (a.k.a., global warming) caused by theburning of coal, oil, and natural gas. Topics will alsoinclude the estimation of future warming and impacts, the Earth resourcesthat can be used to combat climate change, and the policies being usedto shift towards the use of those resources.Introduction to Climate Change: Read More [ ]Hours & FormatFall and/or spring: 15 weeks - 3 hours of lecture per weekAdditional DetailsSubject/Course Level: Earth and Planetary Science/UndergraduateGrading/Final exam status: Letter grade.
