The Earth and Planetary Sciences minor is primarily for science undergraduates interested in learning about Earth and other planets through the study of geology, geochemistry, geophysics, hydrology, ecology, geobiology, oceanography, and atmospheric science. Students take 12 credits of EPS courses (numbered AS.270.xxx), at least six of which are at the 300-level, and at least 16 credits of other courses with the Foundational Ability Science and Data tag that have a meaningful connection to the EPS department. Departmental courses allowed to count automatically will be in the departments of AS Biology, AS Chemistry, AS Physics & Astronomy, or AS Mathematics (students may speak to the DUS for approval outside of these departments). No Environmental Studies courses (numbered AS.271.xxx) may count toward the minor. All courses must be taken for a letter grade, and students must earn a grade of C- or better to apply the course towards the minor. Courses taken at another institution without a direct equivalency to a JHU course may not apply towards this requirement without permission of the Director of Undergraduate Studies.
