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.
