Geological Sciences Minor

The minor in Geological Sciences is intended as a flexible opportunity for students to incorporate significant course work dealing with the earth sciences into their university careers. All Geology minors must be approved by the departmental adviser and must meet the following criteria:

1. The geology minor consists of GEO 100 - Introductory Geology /GEO 101 - Introductory Geology Laboratory  and at least 13 credit hours above the 100 level. At least 9 credit hours must be above the 200 level.
2. The courses making up the geology minor must comprise a consistent set of courses that makes sense to be taken together as a sequence. The sequence of courses will depend on the particular needs of the individual student, but the sequence as a whole must be approved in advance by the departmental adviser.

A grade of “C” is the minimum passing grade for all courses offered by the department and applied toward a minor.

Students interested in the minor program should consult with the departmental adviser (216-687-3506).
