Go back to the beginning of this presentation, by Carolyn Eyles and Susan Vajoczki of McMaster University, about integrating interdisciplinary programs into an existing department.

Core 'geoscience' included in EES program

  • partly in 'core' program
  • particularly in specialization streams
  • essential for professional certification
  • maintains rigor of program

'Connections'

  • with geography, chemistry, physics, engineering
  • program and 'service' courses
  • essential for 'breadth' requirements
  • effective 'recruitment' tool
  • provides flexibility for students
