Earth and Environment is a unique opportunity for first-year students at SUNY Cortland to take classes together as a group interested in exploring the natural sciences. Classes are small and students and faculty work together.
This is a chance to get started at Cortland in a positive way, satisfying several college requirements and working together with a number of similarly interested students.
Earth and Environment is not a major, but a way of grouping courses with overlapping interests together into a first semester program. The courses focus on the natural, earth, and environmental sciences.
The program is taught by a faculty with backgrounds in a variety of subjects. All courses are entry level for freshman and the only prerequisite is an interest in science and a desire to strengthen ones mathematical, observational, and technological skills.
You should! This is a one-semester experience designed for students just out of high school. The topics are interesting and you will satisfy some important college requirements in the first semester. Students enjoy being able to take classes with the same group of students and with highly motivated faculty.
