EEPS at Brown University

Intro sequences

The shortest canonical route from each entry point to a gateway course.

• 1. EEPS 0220Earth Processes
  2. MATH 0100Introductory Calculus, Part II
  3. EEPS 0350Mathematical Methods of Fluid
• 1. EEPS 0010Face of the Earth
  2. EEPS 0230Geochemistry: Earth and Planetary Materials and Processes

A suggested order for the 77 courses on the map, built from prerequisite chains and how often each course has run in fall and spring across the last 12 regular terms. It is not the department’s plan, and it is not a promise a course will run. Confirm against the department’s own advising material.

Gateway courses

Each of these unlocks the largest share of downstream work on this map. Courses from other departments can appear here when they genuinely gate EEPS coursework.

• CHEM 0330Equilibrium, Rate, and Structureopens 13 courses (4 directly)
• PHYS 0720Methods of Mathematical Physicsopens 11 courses (6.6 directly)
• GEOL 0350Mathematical Methods of Fluid and Solid Geophysics and Geologyopens 10 courses (6.6 directly)
• EEPS 0230Geochemistry: Earth and Planetary Materials and Processesopens 9 courses (6 directly)
• EEPS 0350Mathematical Methods of Fluidopens 8 courses (5.3 directly)
• GEOL 1410Mineralogyopens 6 courses (5 directly)

The map

Intro tiers at the top, advanced work below; arrows point from a prerequisite to the course it unlocks. Courses from other departments appear where they gate EEPS work. Click any course to see what it requires and unlocks without leaving this page; hovering lights up its neighbors. The lists on this page carry the same courses in text form.

Showing the 77 EEPS and feeder courses that have prerequisite links. 77 more EEPS courses have no recorded prerequisites. They are listed under Tracks below, not drawn as loose dots here.
