Most earth science degree programs require one year of calculus. Future earth scientists will need enhanced quantitative skills, computer literacy, and a solid grounding in the basic sciences such as physics and chemistry. Students of the earth sciences should be able to effectively communicate orally and in writing, and possess a deep appreciation of business economics. Anyone can benefit from a study of the earth sciences, even if a job in the profession is not the goal. College of DuPage provides opportunities for students from the introductory to pre-professional levels.
Relevant courses are available in introductory earth science, geology, meteorology and astronomy.
