Major Academic Plan (MAP) Why study geology? Geology is the science of planet Earth. Geologists use elements of chemistry, physics, biology and mathematics in interpreting the evolution of the earth and its life forms. Applied geology addresses exploration of earth resources, environmental quality and hazards and practical understanding of the planet on which we live. An opportunity exists to earn a double major with a BS in both Geology and Environmental Science. Bachelor of Science in Geology Required Courses (53 credits) GEOL 120 Physical Geology–The Solid Earth (5) GEOL 121 Physical Geology–Surficial Processes (5) GEOL 122 Historical Geology (5) GEOL 311 Earth Materials (4) GEOL 312 Crystallography and Optical Mineralogy (4) GEOL 313 Igneous and Metamorphic Petrology (4) GEOL 408 Invertebrate Paleontology (4) GEOL 411 Sedimentology and Stratigraphy (4) GEOL 430 Structural Geology I (4) GEOL 431 Structural Geology II (4) GEOL 490 Senior Capstone: Geology Field Camp (10) Required Supporting Courses (43 credits) CHEM 151 General Chemistry (5) CHEM 152 General Chemistry (5) CHEM 153 General Chemistry (5) GEOG 323 GIS for Environmental Science (3) MATH 161 Calculus I (5) MATH 162 Calculus II (5) or MATH 380 Elementary Probability & Statistics (5) Choose one of the following sequences: BIOL 171, 172, 173; PHYS 131/161, 132/162, 133/163; or PHYS 151/161, PHYS 152/162, PHYS 153/163 Elective Credits (12) See the University catalog for descriptions. General Admissions Requirements for Geology High school students planning to major in Geology should take two years of algebra, one year of geometry/trigonometry and one year of chemistry and physics. They are also encouraged to take four years of English. The ability to express ideas and concepts clearly and concisely, both orally and in written form, is fundamental to all sciences. Entering freshmen and transfer students electing to major in Geology should contact the Department for advising as soon as possible. Failure to do so may result in an additional year to finish the BS program. Especially important for beginning students is early completion of the chemistry sequence. Department Chair Dr. Jennifer Thomson SCI Department Assistant Carolyn Harbolt SCI Sample Careers Geotechnical and environmental fields, petroleum industry, mineral exploration and mining, hydrogeology Associate in Arts and Sciences BS in Geology (108 credits) Department of Geology College Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics
