________
1 ATM 102 Required of students entering in Fall of 2006
2 No longer required. ATM 102 replaces MAR 104
B. Graduate or Advanced Undergraduate Science Courses
Advanced courses are those with a pre-requisite of introductory courses or a
sequence of introductory courses. For example, an advanced course in chemistry
may require CHE 131 and CHE 132. CHE 132 which requires CHE 131 is not an
advanced course. At Stony Brook most advanced courses are numbered 300 or
higher.
| At least 12 Credits within Earth Sciences, that is,
astronomy, atmospheric sciences and geology. Some marine science courses
with an earth science theme are also acceptable. Graduate atmospheric
science courses have an MAR designator |
| At least 12 credits in one scientific discipline. The
acceptable disciplines are geology, astronomy, atmospheric science, physics, chemistry, biology, physical
geography or environmental science.
|
The MAT Earth Sciences Curriculum
requires 15 credits in appropriate
Earth Science
Courses.
Graduate earth science courses taken as part of the MAT
Earth Science curriculum can be used to meet the minimum requirements to
student teach earth sciences.
A list of appropriate earth science courses can be found
at this link. These courses can also be used to meet the graduate or
advanced undergraduate science course requirements.
At least one of the graduate courses requires a research
report that involves selecting or collecting data or observations,
processing and interpreting this information and presenting it in a
professional style. A report that consists of a literature review is not
acceptable to meet this requirement.
