Geology Minor

A minor in geology will serve students who wish to expand the application of their major with a geology background. These skills will complement a variety of careers, including careers in science, business, law, political science and environmental management. Building on introductory courses that include a survey of geological processes and interpretation of the earth’s past, students are encouraged to choose upper-level courses that will complement their career goals. The upper level requirements will offer students the choice of focusing on topics such as structural geology, petroleum geology, geochemistry and natural disasters. All courses completed for minor credit must receive a grade of “C” or better.
