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.

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