The Earth Science Education major and minor at Western Michigan University are designed to provide a basic understanding of those subjects normally included in a secondary earth science course: geology, meteorology, astronomy, and oceanography. Earth Science is now a common course of study as well as other courses including geology, astronomy, and oceanography in many high schools. More than 350 schools in Michigan now offer or plan to offer earth science.
Within the College of Arts and Sciences at Western Michigan University, we offer a two-tiered advising system for undergraduates. Students receive major/minor specific advising through the faculty or staff expertise within the department and general advising regarding university and general education requirements as well as pre-professional advising through the College's advising office located in 2318 Friedmann Hall (http://www.wmich.edu/cas/advising/). As a student with a major within the College of Arts and Sciences, I understand that I need to meet reqularly with both a departmental and college advisor to ensure I have met all requirements for graduation.
