Program Description

The Earth Sciences and Physics (PHYS) program at Skagit Valley College is designed to serve the diverse needs of the community by inspiring students with an interest in discovery and a desire for lifelong learning, as well as by promoting critical thinking skills. Interested non-majors, as well as Earth Science, and Environmental Science majors, can choose from introductory level classes in Earth System Science, including: Meteorology, (EASC 102 ), Physical Geology (GEOL& 101 ), Oceanography (OCEA& 101 ). Additional classes include Environmental Geology (GEOL& 110 ) and Geology of the Pacific Northwest (GEOL& 208 ). Prior college-level course work in Earth Sciences is recommended when taking these latter two courses.
