With the creation of new course ES 146 Sustainable Earth (4 credit hours), a Gen Ed approved course, the Department of Physics and Earth Science would like to propose that the Advanced Placement Exam for Environmental Science with a minimum score of 3 be equivalent to ES 146 and that this be added to our current Advanced Placement Examinations table in the catalog.

Below is the current AP Exam verbiage and table examples from the catalog:
