Which science class to take over the summer?

<p>I wasn't really sure where to post this so I thought I'd ask in this broader section. I am taking a science, with lab and a math class over Summer III(June-August)</p>

<p>My community college here has Earth Science, a geology course and it has has Oceanography, also a geology course. Also the regular bio and chem classes but I wanted to try something new because I took these in high school and one micro bio when my major was something else so I don't have interest in those. I was going to go with Earth Science but its at a different campus(same school though, but a longer drive) so Oceanography is more convenient but no big deal because it's two days a week at night.</p>

<p>Has anyone taken Oceanography or Earth Science? They would be the regular classes for both, I checked and they are both accepted my university. I'm not totally against taking bio but thought it would be cool to take something more interesting. Thanks.</p>

<p>Both bio and chem are required as GE courses in college I think but if you want a more interesting class, earth science sounds like a class I would take :slight_smile: I’ve never taken earth science or oceanography but my pick is for earth science in the “interesting class” category :D</p>

<p>Wind, that’s not true. It depends on your college. Op, you said they were both accepted but do either fill a requirement?</p>

<p>Yes they both fulfill the Natural Science core requirements. I haven’t been to a school that requires both Bio and Chem for regular degrees but for science, engineering types they do. I think it depends on your major but mine doesn’t need any additional science classes.</p>

<p>If they’re both of equal interest to you, then I would look for professor ratings. Take these with a grain of salt, but it might push you one way or another :).</p>
