| For Human-Environment Track Geographers, choosing three CSCs is a 2-step process. First, in conjunction with a DAC, a Cadet narrows his/her interest to three of the five Focus Area Categories (Physical Science, Regional, Global, Philosophy/Sociology, Mathematical/Economic). Then, a Cadet chooses one course from each of those three selected Focus Areas that are appropriate for his/her interests (see DAC for a listing of courses associated with each focus area). The exception to this rule is if a pre-requisite is needed. In that case, both the prerequisite and the desired course can be selected from the same focus area. | ||
