Declare your program of study (see Enrollment Services and Information ). No special admission or application requirements are needed for this program. However, students should meet with an advisor to plan and declare their program of study.
General Education
Refer to Degree Requirements for either Bachelor of Science or Bachelor of Arts requirements. MATH 1050 or MATH 1080 or MATH 1210 is recommended for the Quantitative Literacy requirement. The following courses required for the Geology major will also satisfy general education requirements: CHEM 1210 , GEO 1110 , PHYS 2010 , and PHYS 2210 .
Course Prefix GEO
The Department of Earth and Environmental Sciences uses the course prefix GEO because geo means “earth.” The prefix GEO also aids in course articulation with other colleges and universities.
