Note: *This map assumes student has MATH 113 placement in Mathematics and COMP 150 placement in Composition. Students with different placements must work with advisors to adjust the map.
Note: **GEOL 441 offered in summer only. GEOL 499 can be taken instead during the fall or spring semesters, students should consult faculty if interested in the GEOL 499 Independent Study option.
Note: ***Upper Division Major Elective course should be taken in Junior or Senior year. Specific courses are offered infrequently, so students should consult faculty for course planning of specific choice courses of the following options: GEOL 409 , GEOL 430 , GEOL 475 , GEOL 476 .
Note: This map is a suggested course sequence. Please consult your academic advisor for alternate sequencing.
Note: Course choices may affect the number of free electives needed. In addition to major and LAC requirements, complete enough free electives to reach at least 120 total credits, including a minimum of 36 upper-division (300- and 400-level) credits.
Note: Students must earn 30 credits by the end of Year 1 to be classified as a Sophomore, 60 credits by the end of Year 2 to be a Junior, and 90 credits by the end of Year 3 to be a Senior. To meet these thresholds, some students may need to take additional credits beyond the suggested course sequence.
