Geology and Geography Group Majors

A group major in science and mathematics meets the needs of some students, particularly those in professional programs. Such group majors require twelve courses in the sciences and mathematics, ten of which must be from two departments with no fewer than four from either, with the two courses chosen from a third department. The chairs of the three departments involved must approve such programs.

Students must have completed at least two courses in geology with a minimum average grade of C (2.0) before they may be formally admitted to the major program in geology. The core requirement in the physical sciences may be met by Geology 103 or 151. The core requirement in the natural sciences may be met by Geology 151-152.
