NOTES:
*General Education Elective: Courses may be in communications, mathematics, natural science, humanities, social science, physical education, or other areas that count toward the college's general education requirements. *Advisor Approved Elective: Courses that meet degree-specific requirements, which may include university, college, department requirements, and electives.

The bachelor's degree offered in geology is one that emphasizes practical and field science along with theory. It is the goal of the department that our graduates not only be ready for immediate employment, but also that they have the broad education that will help them to grow professionally, be successful in graduate school, and advance through positions of greater responsibility during their careers.

Curriculum plans are intended as advising tools only, not a contract between the student and the university, and are subject to verification by the student's academic advisor and/or department chair.
